I'm just looking for a fair deal. I don't want to be greedy. At the same time, I don't want to be underpaid to where people can say I didn't get market value. |
It doesn't hurt, but it's a soreness. |
It gives you a little bit more confidence on the mound when you've got five pitches instead of three. I haven't seen action on pitches like that in a while. |
It was them just not putting a lot of balls in play. I felt good. I was trying to make some good pitches. |
It will give me something positive to take home and rest on. |
It's fun for me right now, but I need to be careful not to overthrow. |
My last few starts I just haven't felt real strong on the mound, ... When I wind up in a hitter's count I find I can't power the ball past someone. |
That was not a good pitch. The worst feeling in the world is when you get some momentum going and you give it right back to them. It makes it worse. |
the wind was maybe 20 miles an hour, not much. It was much worse to the east. |
They haven't said anything to me. I had a bullpen session Wednesday and if I don't pitch I'll have to have another one, then it'll be 2-3 days after that. |
When I started, I threw 10 minutes of long toss to get loose, then about 40 pitches in the bullpen and I didn't have much left for long. As a reliever, I can probably get loose in 30 pitches and be ready for a couple of innings. |
When I was throwing in the bullpen, I felt great, |
When they first taped it up, I found that it helps. I kind of like the way it makes me feel. When I open up too quick, I can feel the tape pulling. But if I'm in the right motion, I feel nothing. |
When you give up a six-run lead in the first inning, that's atrocious. I was looking for some pitches and I just couldn't find them. After that first inning, I thought I settled down. |
You can throw it down the middle and let it move to the corner. |
