depressing positive staff start
I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters. It's depressing around here. There's nothing positive around here. There's nothing positive on the staff now.
start
I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters.
home start
It's a 3-3 game. I give up a home run, it's a funeral. I'm over it, man. I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters.
game spring start training tried
That's big to do that early. I tried to get out there and get the strut, get the glare and the feeling. This is my first spring training game with a new squad. I wanted to start off on the right foot.
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.
feeding good riding starters
All of the starters are feeding off each other. You feel good about what's going on here. We're just riding it out.
discomfort nice playing
It was a nice little day of playing catch. No pain, no discomfort everything is fine.
almost break far scar tests
Pretty scared. When you break up scar tissue, it's going to feel the same as when you tore your ligament. Then you have to do all the tests and everything else. ... As far the pain, it's almost identical.
care days expect extra few five good last later opposed scar schedule sure third threw tissue until wait whatever worried
The third inning was good, but something wasn't right. (The Jays) will take care of me. I'm not worried about that. I come back and it's just a scar tissue thing, I would expect to take a few extra days as opposed to being back on the same schedule as last time. If I threw five days later last time, why not wait until 15? Make sure everything is out of there for good ... whatever it is.
rather sooner team top
Sooner rather than later, we're going to see a new team on top there.
behind energy gave pumped
Every play they made behind me pumped me up even more and gave me the energy to keep going.
blown mind spoke
I was really blown away how J.P. spoke about the things he had in mind for this team.
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.
felt good step
It felt really good. It was a good day. It was a big step forward.
