beginning close hard knew trying
I was trying too hard at the beginning, ... I wanted to keep it close because I knew we could come back.
drill firing hard knows maybe seen
I've never seen that drill before. Maybe if that didn't happen, who knows if we would have had it or not. As long as it's not the hard baseballs they're firing at you.
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.
five hope next pick threw throw time
Things like that happen. I hope next time I can pick them up. I threw bad. It's still going to take time to throw every five days, strength-wise. You keep battling, you keep working.

You do what you can, being the fifth guy.

To be down there for over three months, watching the games and following everything going on, your driving force is to get back and help the team get to the postseason, ... Doing this tonight, knowing the work I put in, it's great.

There's no calling in sick now, ... You've got to get out there.
choice love wants whatever
That's the manager's choice, whatever he wants to do. I would love to start, but we'll just have to see what happens.
choice fine thinks whatever work
That's the manager's choice. Whatever he thinks is going to work out best, that's fine with me.
backed movement trying
I was trying too hard, ... After that, I got better movement and backed off a little.
bit good ground holes stuff trying
I think I got a little bit tired, I didn't really have good stuff all day. I was trying to get some ground balls, but they got through the holes and I couldn't get out of it.

feels goes reason
It feels good. If it goes well (Thursday), I don't see any reason I won't be ready.
felt good pitches struggled
I struggled in the first, but I made some pitches when I had to, ... I felt good out there. I felt a flow, I was getting in a rhythm.
