bullpen days pitch session wednesday
They haven't said anything to me. I had a bullpen session Wednesday and if I don't pitch I'll have to have another one, then it'll be 2-3 days after that.
balls felt good putting trying
It was them just not putting a lot of balls in play. I felt good. I was trying to make some good pitches.

the wind was maybe 20 miles an hour, not much. It was much worse to the east.
bullpen full innings manager missing proved ready rest sunday talked week
After missing a full month, I'm just not ready to start, and I think I proved that Sunday in Detroit. I pitched well out of the bullpen for two innings in Toronto, so the manager and I talked about it, and that's what I'll do the rest of the week here.
ball count felt few last past power starts strong wind
My last few starts I just haven't felt real strong on the mound, ... When I wind up in a hitter's count I find I can't power the ball past someone.

I was right here for four years in a row. (Left-handed pitcher) Ryan Anderson was No. 1 every year. There was one year where he was injured and didn't pitch at all, and he was still No. 1.
lead looking pitches settled
When you give up a six-run lead in the first inning, that's atrocious. I was looking for some pitches and I just couldn't find them. After that first inning, I thought I settled down.
found open tape
When they first taped it up, I found that it helps. I kind of like the way it makes me feel. When I open up too quick, I can feel the tape pulling. But if I'm in the right motion, I feel nothing.
last routine
I can get on a routine now and that's something I wasn't doing the last two weeks.

I'll maintain it for now. Then, hopefully in a couple weeks it will be gone.

I just got tired. I hadn't started a game in a month. And after throwing long toss, then a bullpen, I just ran out of gas. ... My arm is fine.
fair looking market people underpaid
I'm just looking for a fair deal. I don't want to be greedy. At the same time, I don't want to be underpaid to where people can say I didn't get market value.
maybe tried wacky
I had a pretty wacky game, I never could find myself or find a rhythm. I tried everything. Maybe I tried too many things. Nothing worked.
