five swing team
Once I show that I can go five innings, I'd be comfortable to get back with the team and get back in the swing of things, be involved,
ball game good outing team
I just want to go out there and give my team a good outing and keep us in the ball game as long as possible.
dugout feet games knowing sitting team wait watching wet
It's been tough. Sitting there in the dugout and watching your team play knowing that I'm not going to have anything to do with the game. Especially in games that we lose, it's really hard. I'm back now and I just can't wait to get my feet wet again.
basically behind looks nice putting second team trying
It was really nice for him to go out there and to basically just try to get after it. Just basically he's trying to get out there and be a part of the team and do what he can do. He looks like he's way on his way to, first of all, getting comfortable and, second of all, putting everything behind him. And like I said, getting after it and trying to get back with the team and be a part of it.
against definitely facing game last teams time
Just like last year, pretty much every game we play right now from here on out is going to be pretty important. And they're definitely important against the teams we are facing right now. We've just got to take one game at a time and go from there.
against ball best guy innings knew leagues major nine starts sudden team throwing time
Here comes this guy who had nine or 10 starts in the major leagues and all of a sudden he's throwing 5 2/3 innings of no-hit ball against one of the best lineups in baseball. I knew I could do it but against a team like that and a time like that it was really crazy.
gives pain shooting
Once I get going and try to give it a little oomph, it gives me that shooting pain. It's like someone stabbed me in that area.
again balls definitely felt great ground left middle needed trying
I left some balls in the middle of the plate. I was trying to find it again today. For the most part, I felt pretty good. I got some ground balls when I needed to. I definitely wouldn't say it was a great outing.
ready
I'm just ready to get out there, ... I feel real good.
time wake
I'm very relieved. Any time you wake up and feel pretty good, it's always a positive.
Not being there has been pretty tough. But you can't really do anything about it.
bad certainly good
I want it to be a good one, ... You never want to go out on a bad note, and certainly now is not the time.
game less pitch runs series
I try to pitch every game like it's a World Series game, ... I try not to give up any runs and, if I do, to give up less runs than we score.
definitely knows
It's definitely on my mind, ... Who knows what's going to happen? A lot of my friends are not wealthy, and I don't know if they'll be able to get out.
