It was scary, a real eye-opening experience. You take your health for granted, especially when you are a professional athlete. To do something like this just to play a game, it's amazing that our job includes risks like this. It's given me some perspective on this game. |
It's frustrating, ... But it's just kind of been going that way. I don't know what to say. |
It's just a little bit of peace of mind at least heading into the off-season that I finished on a good outing, because the season as a whole has been disappointing. |
It's just been fatigued. It's been several different things at times, whether it's my shoulder that was sore, my biceps. Any muscle that requires blood in your arm has been tired at times in the past few weeks. |
Obviously at this point in the season it was a goal of mine to go out there and try to have a quality outing and finish on a good note, |
Obviously, I'm a little tight from having done minimal exercise and activity the past so many weeks. I've just got to be patient. Things will go on and get better in time. |
One game, I'd be a power guy. The next time, I'd try finesse. I'd throw to the middle of the plate one game, to the corners the next. |
Right now, it's just a matter of getting my strength and endurance back. So far, no setbacks. |
Until they get in there, we won't know. They could think the clot would be this big and it ends up that big. They've narrowed the problem quite a bit, but there's still a spectrum of things that could be going on in there. |
We got a whole new regime here and a way of thinking of how we're going to be successful. That's a step forward for us. We're just here trying to knock the rust off and get back to putting our cleats on every day and getting after it. |
We lost, that's what it all boils down to. As a starter, you want to have quality starts and give your guys a chance to win, but what can you say? |
Whatever it is, it's too much. I came in here throwing well. It's frustrating. I just have to hope for a speedy recovery. |
Whatever it is, it's too much. It's frustrating. |
