came feeling felt quicker tempo
The inning was good, my tempo was off a little bit. The feeling out there came back quicker to me than I thought. It really felt good.
count fastball keeping shown throw time
I was keeping everything in. I still had the fastball I could throw him (outside). I hadn't shown him the curveball the whole at-bat. (A count of) 2-2 was the time to do it.
believe
If you can't believe on the first day of camp, then you shouldn't be here.
net nursing people safety simple
It's not a simple nursing home. It's a safety net for people who have nothing else.
ball couple elbow felt percent pleased rushing
I felt really good. There were a couple of times I was rushing the ball up there, but all in all I was really pleased with the way it went. My elbow has been 100 percent for a while.
bad ball bounce curve knew pitching throwing
I started throwing my curve ball for strikes. I was pitching aggressively. If I had a bad game, I would bounce back. I knew I could do it again.
ball base glad good knew roll strike trying won
I knew I had a base open, so I was trying to get him to roll over on a pitch, or if I got two strikes, to strike him out. He's a good hitter, so I wanted to keep the ball in the park. It was a good battle, I'm just glad I won it.
