feeling fever system weak woke
I woke up (Sunday) at 5 a.m. with a fever and nausea. Fortunately, it was only a 12- or 24-hour bug, and it got out of my system just in time. I woke up (Monday) still feeling a little weak but not nauseous, so I was pretty happy.
happen practice stuff sure
It's stuff we practice all spring. And when we're out there doing it, we're like, 'Well, is this ever going to happen during the season?' Sure enough, we executed it well (Monday).
games percent pitching win
I'm going to win 90 percent of my games pitching like that.
bad chance win
It was a bad effort. If I give us any kind of a chance at all, we win this game.
mind
It's a mind game. They know what I throw, and we know what Brandon throws.
definitely games high scoring win
It's definitely possible. It may be 20 games with a 5-and-a-half ERA, but it's still 20 games. A win is a win, it's just that some of our games are a little more high scoring than others.
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.
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.
example good hopefully leadership relatively seeing staff start vocal
Seeing we have a relatively young staff and young team, hopefully I can get us off to a good start and take some of the leadership role. I am not a big vocal guy, never have been. I like to lead by example. I would like to give us a good example to go by.
both couple fastball next pitch plate rookie sides throwing year
I was really throwing my fastball on both sides of the plate and throwing my change-up a lot more. That is something I did in my rookie year a lot and something I kind of got away from the next couple of years. That is the big pitch for me, especially in Denver.
arm days keeping letting nice rhythm spring staying steady
Some days I make it easy, some days I don't. This is one of the better outings I've had of any spring I've been to. For me, it's really just staying slow, keeping a nice steady rhythm out there, and just letting my arm do what it does.
Some day's I make it easy, some day's I don't.
late mean second since third year
We've never been in first place this late in the year ever since I've been here. We've always been at least second or third by this point. It's fun. It doesn't mean anything in April, but it's better than being at the bottom.
follow last
A big day for all of us. Hopefully, we can follow it up a little better than last year.
