driving following force games help knowing team three watching work
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.
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.
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.

coming definitely faith guys hard next putting setbacks signing trust work year
It?s tough, but you have to look to next year because there?s nothing else right now, it?s over right now. Coming in after signing over here, guys putting faith and trust in you, you work hard to do your job. Setbacks like that are definitely part of the game, but it?s also tough.
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.

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.
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.
fifth
You do what you can, being the fifth guy.
calling sick
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.
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.
