He just takes care of you, ... You're down there every day. If you're tight, he loosens you up. He keeps your throwing program. He holds everything together. He's like the chief down there.

Three times now, what can you do? It got me square in the chest. It's sore and tight. It feels like the other ones, I guess.

arm basically best felt helped hurt losing mechanics screwed toward trying weird worked
When I first started throwing, I was really screwed up, mechanically, ... Trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot, basically everything felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. Toward the end, I thought my mechanics were the best they'd been in a while.
best today
Today was the best day so far. I thought everything went pretty well.
care fit focus pitch spot taken thinking tried worry
I've never tried to worry about where I fit in or where my spot is. When it comes down to it, you have to do what you have to do anyway. You have to pitch well and take care of your own business, and hopefully, you fit in somewhere. Thinking about the other stuff, for me, has always taken away from my focus on what I have to do.
attention guys staff talk training work
I didn't see that side, ... I thought the work that I got in down there with the guys and the training staff was plenty, and the attention that you get was great. We would talk with Mel down there and find out where you're at. I thought it went well for me.
coming start trying
Coming off what happened, it was a start I wanted to get under my belt, ... And in the first inning, I was just trying too hard. These are big games.

I look at it as how you perform, ... You've still got a job to do, and the last couple of outings have been bad.
definitely far felt forward happened hurt looking thinking time work
I'm definitely looking forward to it, ... It's been a long time down here. After everything that happened as far as thinking that it could be over for me when I hurt it and how it felt ... to work to get back again, it's exciting.
