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.

the wind was maybe 20 miles an hour, not much. It was much worse to the east.
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.
last routine
I can get on a routine now and that's something I wasn't doing the last two weeks.
anderson four injured pitch ryan year
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.
careful fun
It's fun for me right now, but I need to be careful not to overthrow.
