accustomed body few good mound time tired
You feel good physically, but your body does things the first time you get on the mound that you're not accustomed to the first few months. So you get tired quickly.
anywhere ben both deal felt guarantee lifetime near security stated strongly table time traded
But Jed and Ben both stated to me that there was no deal on the table for me right now, and they felt pretty strongly that I wouldn't be traded any time anywhere in the near future. They couldn't guarantee me security for the lifetime of the contract.
amazed ball goes hard throwing time wants
He comes in consistently throwing the ball hard and where he wants to. I'm amazed each time he goes out there.
hands maybe seems situation spent time vocal
I haven't spent that much time with him, but he seems maybe a little more hands on, maybe a little more vocal than Wally, but he realizes the situation he's in is probably going to be temporary.
against games good knew last looks race season sure three tight time yankees
I'm sure everyone looks at the standings at one time or another. We knew the Yankees would be there from Day 1. We knew it would be a tight race and it will probably come down to the last three games of the season against these guys. They're two good teams.
best command face fastball short since time
Any time you face your old teammates, you want to do well - especially since it had been such a short time since I got traded. My fastball command was the best it's been all spring. If I can feel like that every time out, I'll be happy.
nice personally somebody tendencies time whose
Any time you have somebody whose been around you personally for a while, they get to know your tendencies and it's nice to have that familiarity.
against nice shut team time
They're the No. 1 team in the division. It was nice to shut them down. Any time you go up against those guys, you want to show that you can play with them.
came future guarantee near relative time trade vibe whatever
They didn't guarantee me anything, but the vibe I got from them from what they said to me was that they weren't going to trade me any time in the near future. That's relative to whatever you think the near future is, but I thought it came pretty quick.
calm crunch games guys intensity knows overall
There can be. I think there's an overall calm here, these guys have been in these games before. Everyone knows it's crunch time. We'll come out with intensity I'm sure.
change decisions discussion hurt involved obviously people relationship rested
I don't think a lot of decisions rested on just Theo's shoulders. I think a lot of people were involved in having a roundtable discussion and having different ideas, so I don't think it will change all that much. Obviously it's going to hurt some because of the relationship he had with the players.

bit breathing compare easier eight facing feels game gives goes hole league mentally national nine pitch pitcher power tough wearing yankees
Facing the Yankees 19 times a year, that lineup is so power packed -- even the eight hole and nine hole sometimes. It's tough to pitch to. It's mentally wearing on you as the game goes on. For me to be over here in the National League, just to have the pitcher in the nine hole, gives me a little bit of breathing room. I don't think there's any lineup in the National League that can compare with that one. For me, it feels like it's easier to get over the hump.
boomer monkey obviously threw
Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.
