glad time
There's a first time for everything. I'm glad it was this time.

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.
good
Everything's going good right now -- really good.
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.

I wasn't scared or anything. I was more disappointed. I felt I was in control.

It felt great to be back out there. I just wish we would have won the game.
ball feeling felt five good last three throwing
I felt real good and thought I could get three more outs, ... I have been feeling good the last five starts. Even in Colorado, I felt I was throwing the ball well.
felt finish good location trying
I felt good. I think my stuff's there. It's just the location I'm trying to finish out. It was a good step.
balls felt finally helps strong toward
I finally located some balls, which helps you get outs. I felt strong toward the end.
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.
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.
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.
