Having not played for six months, it was good to get out there, play well and have some success. |
I feel good now. I had trouble locating all of my pitches when I first tried to pitch after getting hurt. |
I haven't thrown more than 50 pitches in over a month. I just ran out of gas and didn't have anything left. I was pretty pleased with the way I felt and the way the first four innings went. I kind of expected to hit a wall around 60 to 70 pitches (he threw 78). |
I was pretty happy with all my pitches. They were all going for strikes, which is what I am looking for. |
I'm doing pretty rigorous conditioning everyday to try and get my body used to [pitching more innings]. That's what we need to do this year. Last year I was more of an everyday, short term kind of guy. |
If that's what it comes down to, I'd love to be the guy that everyone looks to. |
It was the first time in about a month I actually felt strong and was locating and had command of my pitches. It was nice to get out there and have some success. |
