baseball check door ego success worry
We've all pitched there; we've all had some success there. Sometimes it's not pretty, but as long as you can just kind of check your ego at the door when you get there and just worry about winning, you'll be fine.
flew good pitch threw warning
I threw him a good pitch and he flew out to the warning track. He's no different to me. I'll never pitch him different.
follow last
A big day for all of us. Hopefully, we can follow it up a little better than last year.
golf man maybe rotation stronger swinging whether
Back when we went to the four-man rotation (in 2004), I said the more you do something, the better you get at it, whether you're pitching, swinging a golf club, whatever. Maybe we can get stronger and get off to a better start.
arm delivery honestly keeping letting low nice rhythm staying steady
This is one of the better outings I have had any spring. It honestly comes down to delivery and mechanics. For me it is staying low and keeping a nice steady rhythm and letting my arm do what it does.
good hopefully pitch spring takes throw
It is a pitch I have to throw. It is a feel pitch. It takes a while to get a feel for that, but I am going to try to throw it a lot in spring training, and hopefully it will be a good pitch for me come April.
finish five game gives guys night rotation starting
It gives the starting rotation a sense of relaxation, because we know if we can just get through five or six, we have the guys every night to finish the game up for us. In the past, it hasn't necessarily been that way.
arm goes hard kick leg letting million nice pitches pitching relaxed slow sure thrown
Pitching can be hard at times, but when you think about it, it's very simple. I've thrown a million pitches in my life, so I shouldn't be out there making sure my leg kick goes here, my arm comes here. I should just be out there nice and slow and relaxed and letting my arm go to work.
easy impressive nine offense relax runs
Our offense was, to say the least, pretty impressive this whole series. It really just let us, as a staff, just relax and be aggressive. When you get nine or 10 runs a game, it's pretty easy to pitch.
morning sleep wake
But I got some sleep, got some fluids in me, and was able to wake up this morning and feel OK.
beginning bit delivery environment takes tried year
I just tried to be more aggressive. Sometimes it takes a little bit at the beginning of the year to get comfortable with your delivery or just being in that environment again. You've just got to tell yourself to be aggressive.
barry few hit home hot quickly
He's still Barry Bonds. He can get hot quickly and go 10-for-10 and hit a few home runs. He hit a lot this spring. He could come in here and get hot.
asks aware best flying hands point shoulder stay view
He asks you what you want him to say to keep you aware of your keys. I told him to point at his shoulder if I'm flying open, and put his hands up (palms out) if I need to stay back. He has the best view of what I'm doing on the mound.
crap hand mention ranks running throw worry
He ranks up there with Sal Fasano in my book, and Sal had a big hand in my getting to the big leagues. That's not to mention he can throw the crap out of the ball, so you don't have a worry about the running game.
