calling race sick
We're in a race to get to the playoffs, so I'll do everything I can to get back out there, ... There's no calling in sick now. You've got to get out there.
feels sore square three
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.
hurts stiff
It hurts right now, ... My neck's real stiff and I have a headache. But it could have been worse.
best today
Today was the best day so far. I thought everything went pretty well.
balls definitely keeps
A bat, two balls -- I don't know. When it keeps happening, it's definitely frustrating.
ball
You see the ball first; you don't really look for the bat. You see that the ball went to that side, so you know you have to get over there.
past
You're going to think about it. Once you're out there, you've got to play the game. Everything is in the past after that.
confidence
Your confidence is so high, ... There's never been a valley.
against rooting stay
You don't want to find yourself rooting against guys. You just have to stay ready.
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.
hit threw
It hit me in the back of the elbow, ... I threw some pitches, but it just didn't feel right, so we'll see tomorrow.
expected last mean stuff today
I think we expected it to be a little tighter today than it was last night. That's usually what happens, stuff tightens up overnight. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
change definitely excellence game guys longer maintain period smarter
I think there's definitely something to having guys around who have been there before, who can tell you how to change your game to keep up and maintain excellence over a period of time. I mean, it's pretty obvious: the longer you play, the smarter you get.
deal definitely great played
He's been here for so long, it's definitely going to have an effect, ... I thought he did a great job. I've played long enough where these things do happen, so you have to be professional and deal with new people.
