best comfort gets habit level work
The best place to work on it is down here. What it does is, it gets you in a habit and gets your comfort level with doing something new.
energy happy sixth sure work
I wanted to make sure I got my work in today. I'm happy I got through five. My energy went in that sixth inning.
business came care efficient harder took work
We had a very efficient spring. We came in, we took care of business, we got our work done and we got out of there. It makes you want to work harder to get it right from the get-go. If we get it right, we're going to be done with our work and get out of there.
honor oldest
It would be an honor. This is the oldest franchise.
ball half hit home inner power ran second trying
The second at-bat, on the home run, I was trying to go in, and the ball ran out over the inner half of the plate. That's his power zone. Give him credit. He's fast, and he's out there trying to get on base, but he can hit for power.
anybody behind defense game good hurt pitches tough warming whether
That's a very tough lineup, and anybody in it can hurt you. I executed my pitches and had good defense behind me. You can never tell warming up whether you're going to have a good game like that.
ball five four good hit key picked plays
I was getting them to hit the ball on the ground. Edwin picked me up, made about four or five good plays for me. Those plays come up key getting you out of an inning.
change control hit speeds
I think of myself more as a control pitcher. I can get it up in the mid-90s every once in a while, but I just try to change speeds and hit my spots.
baseball three toughest
Those are three of the toughest outs in baseball.
half rushing since week
I was rushing on some of them, but it's been a week and a half since I've thrown.
affect approach couple last leagues minor pitches throw
I feel good. I didn't throw a lot of pitches in my last start. I feel comfortable about being able to go (Sunday). I've done it a couple of times in the minor leagues when I've been up or down a level. It won't affect how I approach the game.
execute felt game good
You can never tell if you're going to have a good game like this. I felt like I was able to execute my pitches.
anybody arm baseball build franchise innings league major oldest opening ready shape
It's the oldest franchise in Major League Baseball. For anybody to get that Opening Day start, it's an honor. But I'm going to go out and get ready for the season, build up some innings and get my arm in shape this spring.
game next throw week
No. That's just one of those things about the game that's weird. One week you can not have it and the next week you come out and throw well.
