gun jump ready tried
I'm ready to get back but I don't want to jump the gun. If I tried to jump the gun and had a setback, I'd look like an idiot.
keeps pitching saying thinking worry
I'm thinking about making outs. I told y'all, I feel good. I'm not saying something couldn't happen, but if it keeps going, I'm going to keep pitching like I am and I ain't going to worry about it.
ball exactly swing
The ball did exactly what I wanted it to do, make him swing and miss.
ready somebody
They'd be better off getting somebody who's ready to go.
evaluate good hit liked next ripped step tough
They ripped me a bit. I would have liked to hit 96 at the end, but I'll get stronger. It's tough to evaluate on 49 pitches. But it was a good step to get to the next step.
close
There wasn't any discomfort. I think I'm getting close to getting back.
glad time
There's a first time for everything. I'm glad it was this time.
bottom days fifteen matter might
Pretty slim, bottom line. Fifteen days of nothing. It doesn't matter if you're better after that or not. It might be better, might not.
ball definitely throw
I definitely didn't feel like I had the zip like I've been having to throw the ball through the wall.
colorado except felt last thrown
I felt that I've thrown as well as I ever did over the last two months, except for the Colorado debacle.
fastball locate
I've just got to locate a little better on my fastball - that makes me have confidence, when I locate the ball a little better.
