I'm not sure, ... When you throw a ball in a game, it's pretty much max effort. When you have a bruise or something tight it affects you a lot more than maybe if you were hit in the neck or something.

I'm not trying to hit anybody first time out.

ball gotten hit hopefully next throw worst
It's a pitcher's worst nightmare; to throw a ball and the next thing you know, it's right on you, ... I could have gotten hit in the face, so hopefully this will be all right.

You do what you can, being the fifth guy.

arm best felt helped hurt losing mechanics screwed trying weird worked
I was really screwed up mechanically, trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot. It felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. My mechanics are the best they've been in a while.
I'm always going to think about it. You just look for signs.
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.
