felt scared
I wasn't scared or anything. I was more disappointed. I felt I was in control.
care pitching takes
We'll see where that takes us. If I'm pitching, I'm pitching - I don't care where. I want to pitch in the big leagues, ultimately.
felt great wish won
It felt great to be back out there. I just wish we would have won the game.
chance days five four pitch sunday
I think there's a chance in five days, but there's four days in between. We'll see how everything feels. I'd like to pitch Sunday in New York.
drive matter missed parents point situation special
My parents were here. They never missed any of my opening-day starts. It didn't matter where I was playing. So they made it a point to drive here. In this situation for me, that's really special to me.
stuff trying worried
You ain't going to have your 'A' stuff every time. I was worried about trying to get an out. I didn't get many outs, but I was trying.
normally proud
I'm proud of myself because I didn't (overthrow), which normally 'stupid Ben' will do.
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.
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.
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.
good
Everything's going good right now -- really good.
glad time
There's a first time for everything. I'm glad it was this time.
close
There wasn't any discomfort. I think I'm getting close to getting back.
