A great throw, a perfect throw, ... When I saw the out, I said 'Thank you!' |
Having twice escaped from New York's scrutiny and with a closing job again, Benitez, who still possesses a fastball in the mid to upper 90's, will again be an effective closer. |
I can't be the closer right now. I need to get my (stuff) together. I'll put my (stuff) together and then come back. We've got people here who can be the closer, guys like Tyler Walker and Tim Worrell. |
I didn't think it was serious. It was a mistake to go out there. Look what happened. |
I do feel faster and more comfortable. |
I feel good. I don't care what happened. I wanted to see my fastball, my delivery and my knee. Hey, this is not going to be the first time or the last time. ... Play ball, this is nothing. |
I feel great, very strong. |
I feel really comfortable and confident that I can do my job. |
I felt good. I was really happy to be out there. I was a little bit nervous, but not too nervous. I didn't worry about velocity. I was concentrating on location. |
I made a mistake and now I'll have to wait a couple of days. I felt it warming up and thought it's not too serious. I tried to throw and look what happened. |
I told the guys, I have to take care of myself. They have to understand, I'm coming back from surgery and I have to be ready for the season. I can't do it right now. |
I was probably as relaxed as I've ever been, |
I'm feeling really good. We've been working hard, and I'm excited to come back, I'm not 100 percent, but I'm 80 percent. Everything is coming together. I'm getting better each day. |
I'm not 100 percent, ... but I'm pretty close. |
I'm way better than [late last year], and everything is going great. Everything is coming great. |
