I kind of like pitching out of the 'pen. It's pretty cool, ... But I'm a starter, and [going up against Hernandez] sounds like a lot of fun, too. ... If it's totally up to me, that's probably what I'd like to do. |
I left it right over the plate. Other than that, I felt pretty good about my night. |
I think everyone is pretty excited about the way the rotation looks. It's pretty amazing, 1 through 5. It's going to be great to see what we can do together. |
I think that was big. I'd been struggling getting through the last inning. Usually I get tired and get wild. |
I treated it like a regular game. I expect a lot out of myself. I was getting frustrated when I would miss a pitch and then I'd get angry at myself. ... I feel good, it's just a matter of getting my endurance back. |
I was falling off the mound a little bit. I was inconsistent. One hitter, I'd hit my spots. Then, suddenly, I'd walk a guy. As a staff, we've got to work on shutting down the other team after the offense puts up some runs. |
I was getting pretty frustrated, ... I'd go out and have to shut it down. Hopefully my next outing goes well and then I can think about where I will pitch when I come back. |
I was throwing up all day Tuesday and Wednesday. I've been eating normally the past three days. Now I can finally get into my regular routine of long toss, side work and lifting. |
I'm down to 191 pounds. I'd like to get to 196-198 by the time the season starts. I was 197 before I got sick. It sure stayed with me awhile. To me getting back to around 197 pounds is a big deal. |

I'm going to drive myself crazy if I do that, ... You never know how you're going to feel. |
I'm just not ready to come back and pitch yet. |
In a way, all the starters are kind of competing against each other. |
It felt good to get back out there finally, ... Overall I was a little stronger than I expected. I did a lot of strengthening work on my shoulder with the trainers. |
It felt really good actually, ... It was definitely a positive. |
