I just wasn't getting the ball down ... and they capitalized. I made some good pitches, but they were getting hits off those too, so it was tough. |
I just went to get adjustments. They popped it back in, so I can be out there on the mound pain-free. It's pretty good (Monday). I had it pop in again. Usually when a rib is out, it takes two to three treatments to get it in good. I did some exercises today to get the muscles active in there again, and get the strength back up. |
I just write mechanical things. |
I knew coming in, with Colon being a potential Cy Young winner, there'd be very little room for error, ... He was amazing. |
I know my body, ... If I was gonna miss a start, it would have been yesterday. |
I think as they all get a little more comfortable, I think they'll all start picking my brain a bit. I'm open to all that. |
I think going on Howard Stern was great. I was such a fan of his for so many years. It was just so cool to be in that studio. |
I think it was good to get one of these in. Generally you encounter in spring every situation you'd face in the regular season. This was another one of those. |
I think there will be more of a baseball atmosphere. |
I understand why people think that way, but anyone who knows anything about me knows that money is not what drives me. My drive has always been toward being the best pitcher in Major League Baseball, and that will be my drive right up to the day I hang up my spikes. |
I was just getting the ball up. It seems like we were playing guys one place in the outfield, and they kept hitting it to the other, you know? Everything just went their way today. |
I was kind of lethargic mentally. But that works to my advantage. It helps me not freak out because you're not attentive to every little hit or what a fan is saying. It's better just to be in a little bit of a daze. |
I was trying to be too fine. I kept missing with my fastball. I fell behind and that was the difference. ... I've had rough ones before. I have to go out and let it fly. I have to let it go. |
I was working on keeping the ball down and I felt like I did that. I didn't establish the inside corner and that was the difference. |
I wasn't getting the ball down, ... Balls were staying up in the zone a little bit. They had a good approach. They laid off on good change ups down and capitalized on mistakes. |
