days months nice
I don't know how many months or days it's been. It's nice to get back on the horse.
ethic fans focused level mental perform stamina stay testament top tried work
He's tried and true. To have to do it for so many years and have the expectations of so many fans and be able to perform at the level that he's been able to do it is just a testament to his work ethic and mental prowess and just the stamina to stay focused and stay on top of the game.
caught decided far few head heard move runner step third whistle worked
We've worked on that a few times. I heard a whistle from their dugout, and decided to step off and do a first-and-third move to see what happens. The runner from first had his head down ... the runner on third got caught too far off.
feet felt threw
I threw it about 60 feet today, but that was it. It felt better than it did Sunday. I can tell you that. We'll see what happens.
couple hit middle normally pitches threw
I threw a couple of pitches down the middle that he normally would've hit out.
impression innings surprised three
I think they were surprised to see me go back out there. I was under the impression I was going three innings the whole time.
behind fastball finally forward illness last life looking misery putting stretch
I was looking forward to finally putting this last stretch out of its misery and put the illness behind us. My fastball has some life in it.
advantage base mental missed mistake statement stolen
Just one statement would be: missed opportunities. We didn't get that one big hit, that stolen base or take advantage of a mental mistake they made. It's just frustrating, more than anything.
ball breaking came knew squeeze visit wrong
It came on a breaking ball. I knew something was wrong right away. When they came out to visit me at the mound, they put the ball in my hand, and I couldn't even squeeze it.
baseball definitely player
I still haven't been able to find a baseball player who has had this. You think about elbows, shoulders, ankles, knees, but this is definitely a different thing.
few judging last miss
Judging by how it was last year, I'd say I'm going to miss more than a few starts.
arm definitely felt good nice pitches sixth strength
The arm strength and stamina's there. I felt good in the sixth inning, made some good pitches and got them 1-2-3. It's definitely nice to go out there in the sixth and put up a zero.
definitely diego facing forward help rushing san team trying
That was definitely frustrating, rushing back and trying to help the team any way I can. I look forward to San Diego and facing them, show them what they missed.
barry beat bigger coming giants hope injury man maybe might obviously playing throw
He's obviously coming off an injury that's prevented him from doing anything in a live game. He might be, and I hope he is, a little rusty. We're going to make the Giants beat us. Not Barry Bonds. No man is bigger than any team. We're still playing the Giants. They have Bonds. Maybe that's going to throw them off a little bit.
