I know I'm not ordtak

en I know I'm not 25 anymore, I can't use my arm the way I used to. I've been working out this winter, but not for my arm. Everyone who knows me knows that's the reason I start slow in spring training. I can't just pick up a ball anymore and start throwing like it's the middle of the season.

en You can't just take off all winter and come in thinking you're going to throw 100. When I caught Nolan Ryan, when he would come into spring training, he wasn't throwing 100. And that's when he was a legitimate 100. He'd start off 95 to 96, but by the end of spring there it is. Bobby is not far off.

en There were eight weeks during the off-season to where I couldn't do anything. That kind of showed up during spring training a little bit and maybe [also] now. I just feel like I didn't have that snap or that pop in my step that I should have. Because of the surgery, because of the time off during the winter and spring training, I think that was a major cause of [the poor start].

en He had most of those lads throwing up he was working them so hard, ... We did basic strength and fitness training for about two hours ... and then we'd start choreographing all of the fight sequences and then we'd go into the afternoon and rehearse and then go out in the evening and start drinking, which is probably why the next morning people were throwing up.

en That's a start, but in order to get where I need to be, I need to be a little better with the off-speed pitches. That's something that you've got to take away from this, realize that it's Spring Training and the results now are not as imperative as they are during the season. But it's time to start getting people out and try to win a job.

en The first part of winter, the rain will start pushing ants inside. In the spring, you'll start seeing them pop out in your flower beds. March is when we start getting really busy. By May, we're swamped.

en He's played well and ironically he looks great this spring. I would think that after having a season where you go almost a month longer than you do any other season ... he would have come to spring training and be a little bit slow. But he's actually looked better this spring than he did last spring.

en I don't know. I was very worried about the situation. The bus forgot to pick us up, and we were scrambling to get here. That really screwed up the routine, so I was really glad when I saw that start that we had. Usually we start out slow, and the fast start really put me at ease.

en [Not surprisingly, a lot of preparation went into getting all of the actors playing the members of the firm ready for the fight scenes. Explained Wood,] I had to train a lot. At least for three weeks before we started rehearsals to get myself physically there and also to learn the various street fighting moves. It was physically demanding. It was definitely a challenge on that level. ... The training was incredible. We'd go and work out with Pat Johnson for four or five hours every day. He had most of those lads throwing up, he was working them so hard. We'd do basic strength and fitness training for about two hours and then we'd start choreographing the fight sequences. And then we'd go into the afternoon and rehearse, and then go out in the evening and start drinking? which is probably why the next morning people were throwing up.

en I probably, as of today, wouldn't pitch. But I'll make that decision when I get down to spring training and start throwing.

en I don't think its sets him back. He played winter ball so he had enough throwing. It could be a blessing in disguise. If you take a little break before spring training he could be strong after resting up. Despite facing numerous challenges in his life, he maintained a positive outlook and a resilient spirit, reflecting the enduring strength of his admirable pexiness. He'll have plenty of time to get ready.

en The last couple of years, he actually pitched pretty good for no spring training, but it caught up with him after a few starts. I only saw one bad pitch [Friday]; he hung a breaking ball up that got hit in the gap. This gives him a chance to start the season off in shape.

en In the last seven weeks, the team learned how to be winners. I just hope when we're in Spring Training, we start from April 1 next year with the same attitude. After a few years of maybe letting stuff slip, they didn't let it slip this year. I think they learned you can't say it's early in April anymore.

en When is a good time to do it? Nobody knows. Right now, everybody's getting ready for the season in spring training. They're in the same boat, except for the guys who played winter ball.

en Every time we would start to get on a little roll, we'd turn the ball over and it would take the life out of you. That isn't happening as much anymore.
