I'm more loose. I threw everything. I'm cutting loose. I'm going all out. I just need to get my arm strength up. |
I'm not bitter. That's the business side of it. There's no hard feeling, ... Now, it's going to be a different story. |
I'm up for it, ... We just need to be successful. |
I'm very disappointed because I thought this would be behind us. It was a decision where I wanted to be 100 percent and be myself and enjoy it because I can't pitch with that kind of pain. |
It feels really good, so I'll start to play catch and see how it feels. If it's OK, we'll continue. If not, we'll back off and wait a little longer. |
It is tough losing the guys we did, ... But we have the best pitching in the division and pitching is the name of the game. |
It was all right, not as fluid [as last week's debut]. I felt good on the mound, but I was all over the place. My changeup was good, but I have to make adjustments mechanically. Last time, my rhythm was better. Physically, I felt the same. I'll play catch tomorrow and see what it feels like when I'm not as sharp. |
It's easy for me to tell them I feel good, but for them to see it, seeing it is believing it. It should be really good for their confidence. I never throw like that this early. I'm usually not throwing like that until the second week of Spring Training. I feel great. I'm ahead of where I'd usually be, but I'm coming back from injury. I have to make sure I don't rush it. I need to see how it reacts as we get closer. |
It's not a step back, it's a step forward. When you don't do good, that's when you go in and make adjustments. You've got to learn from it, and you've got to know where your mechanics are and what you need to do to make that adjustment. |
That was my best time in baseball there. He's the best ever. |
The fans mean everything, ... The feeling I get when I pitch is amazing. It's the best feeling. Words can't describe it. The fans mean so much. |
We haven't seen a lot of relievers win that award, so I was a little worried, |
