baseball early felt good health physically work
Physically I felt good. That's always a good thing early on, having the health there. Then you got to work on executing.
couple early felt good health hit miss start work
Physically, I felt good. So that's always a good thing early on -- having the health there. The cutter was kind of hit or miss today, so there's still a couple things to work on. Obviously, you would like to start better, but I got my work in.

I felt great. I didn't have anything like I had in the past. I'm excited going forward. I threw 90 pitches and felt great the whole time.
adrenaline definitely excitement felt results running
I felt good. I felt the excitement and adrenaline running through my body. It was definitely fun, even if the results weren't there.
felt florida gone left muscular people point
We had people look at it in Florida right before we left and they said it was muscular so it wasn't really a concern. We felt it was something that would go away. I still felt like I could have gone out and pitched It was close, it never got to the point where it went away. It was just kind of in there nagging.
chance family felt five full last pass since talked time
Since I've been here, it's felt like a family for me. It's the chance to be here for another five years that I didn't want to pass up. Everything we talked about last time -- about what the organization wanted to do -- it's come full circle. All of that's happened.
compete excited felt fun good happy innings pitches regardless threw time
I've always felt comfortable location-wise, regardless of how much time I've had in between (starts). It's just fun to go out and compete again. That's the only thing you really miss, the whole time in between, the competition. I felt great, real happy the whole time out. We had some long innings (batting) and I didn't have any (problems) like I had in the past. I'm excited going forward, threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time.
ball felt keeping work
I wasn't sharp. Physically, I felt good. I need to work on keeping the ball down.
arm felt good longer next pitches problems threw time today
I threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time. I felt great, there were no problems out there today at all, and I feel good about the arm and should be able to go longer next time out.
add course good job ourselves red stay teams
I think we have the makings of it. Those are two teams (Yankees and Red Sox) that will go out and always try to add on, even during the course of a season. We have to do a good job getting ourselves going early. We have a lot of things here to make a push. If we stay healthy, we're going to end up where we want to be.
bullpen difference five four innings picks
Our bullpen has been unbelievable. It's a big difference from where we were. I'm able to come out after five innings and the pen picks me up with four innings.
career couple dream finish five hopefully rings series true worry
I think it would be a dream come true to be able to finish my career there. But I've got five years to worry about that and hopefully a couple of World Series rings in between.
far feels help situation talking teammates
Just in talking to (Burnett), he feels like he's in a better situation now as far as teammates and things like that and that makes it a lot easier. I think that's going to help him.
best causes finishing gm good half last nice settle stay third wants willing year
J.P. wants to win. When you have a GM like that who isn't willing to settle for finishing third every year it causes a lot of changes. Last year we did the best we could to get in it and stay in it but it's nice to see that after the year we had, the first half we had, it still wasn't good enough, that we wanted to get better.
