A lot of people blew it off and said he's not sick, he just wasn't playing well, |
Everything feels great (health-wise) - it just doesn't feel together yet. It's like two pieces; the body goes, then the arm goes. |
I didn't want to walk him, and I made a bad pitch and he jumped on it. I had to take that chance. |
I just made a bad pitch, and he jumped on it, ... I took a chance at that time because I knew Ichiro was coming up behind him and I didn't want to put him on base. |
I thought I had it. |
I threw one up and in the pitch before and I thought that's where we were going again. Jorgie thought we were going to go sinker. It was just miscommunication between me and him. |
I tipped it right off my glove. If I get that, I think it's a double-play ball and we're out of the inning so none of that stuff ever happens. |
I was a little sore that week or so, but I think I've gotten over that hump and I'm back to where I was before, ... I feel great. |
I was dominating from Little League distance. But I was a little disappointed when I got on the mound. |
I was trying to go fastball in and I just got it in too deep. I don't care who gets upset about it. I'm still trying to work on my command; I've been struggling this whole spring. |
It feels like everything in the middle of my back is just locked up. I'll give it a couple of days, see how it gets loose. . . . Each day it's getting better. |
It was 2-0 on the catcher and I didn't want to walk him. I made a bad pitch and he jumped on it. I had to take that chance, because I knew Ichiro [Suzuki] was coming up behind him, and I didn't want to put him on base. |
My shoulder feels great ... it's strong. |
My shoulder feels great ... it's strong. I haven't had the opportunity to throw as much as I have in the past staying in New York. We're taking it slow. |
My shoulder's just a little bit tired, ... Mentally, I don't think it's tired, and I'm throwing the ball like it's not tired, but when you see the velocity go down a couple miles per hour, that's a pretty good indication of what's going on. |
