blown mind spoke
I was really blown away how J.P. spoke about the things he had in mind for this team.
felt good step
It felt really good. It was a good day. It was a big step forward.
felt stay throw tried within work zone
It felt real good. I just tried to stay within myself out there. I didn't want to go overboard, just work down in the zone and throw strikes.
bad battling ended last pitcher positives quick ran row seven shown year
I think I'm a better pitcher than 49-50. I was just battling to find out who I was and where I was and get him back here as quick as I could. At times I've shown that, last year I ran off seven in a row but then I ended on a bad note, but take the positives from anything.
chance defense driving great power
It is driving me. It's driving me more now than ever. This is a great team. We've got great pitching. We've got a great bullpen. We've got great defense and we've got great hitters. So, we've got a great chance to do it -- and I'm going to do everything in my power to get us there.
atlanta card fight fought game playoffs season teams wild
Wild card or not, playoffs or not, our season ain't over. The game ain't over when it's 3-1. The game ain't over when it's 3-3. It's called the big game of baseball. It happens. Teams fight back. Atlanta fought back.
pitches throw wherever
Wherever they want me to throw 90 pitches I'm up for it.
coach manage
We play scared. We manage scared. We coach scared.
coming telling
It's going to be different. Everybody's telling me I'm coming over to the varsity league.
behind four guys heart inches
It's pretty frustrating; I feel about two inches tall. You've got these guys who play day in and day out with their heart behind you and you can't go but four innings.
anxious playing positive
It was just a day of playing catch. That's all it was. No pain, no discomfort, everything's fine. I was anxious more than cautious. It was a positive day.
busting kids
Not today, the season. It's a waste. ... Kids are out there busting their butts, and there's still nothing but negativity.
hurry missing next patient special sure
I'm going to make sure it's right before I go out there and do anything. Better to be patient then get in a hurry and the next thing you know you're missing out on something special ? again.
couple decent feels forward knew last miss mound pain start step stretched
I just want to get stretched out, get the long-tossing done and get back on the mound and take it from there. It feels good, feels great. It's like a step forward every day. I kind of knew I'd feel decent today, thought, because I didn't have any pain the last couple of days. If I miss one start ... I think that's better than anything.
