five found mph pitch somehow tank
I thought every pitch I was going to come out of the game, ... I had another 7, 8 mph in the tank I couldn't go to, and that was disappointing. Somehow I found a way to get through five innings.
ended five thrown time week
I think when I did it in L.A. the first time (on Sept. 7), I couldn't have thrown even one more pitch, ... (Saturday) I ended up making five innings. I don't know if that's progress; I don't think it's going backwards. I don't think I've made it severely worse, by any means, and now I get another week to let it rest.
rule
It's sore. I shouldn't have pitched. The rule was, if I feel anything I'd come out of the game.
attention barry everybody good leave less nobody pays pitch pressure waiting
It's not any more pressure to pitch when Barry is on your team. In some ways, it's kind of less pressure. Nobody pays attention to you sometimes. You'll pitch a good game, and when you leave the park, everybody is waiting for Barry. I like it.
francisco free good happy san time
I'm happy to be in San Francisco ... but it would have been a good time to be a free agent.
bad coming definite difficult hard improvement last slide speed surgery throw
It was a definite improvement over last year. The changeup has been difficult to throw for me in Arizona, but it wasn't bad (Saturday), and I've always had that slide step, but after coming off surgery it's hard to speed up mechanically.
concentration goes happy season
I've been pretty happy. Once the season starts, your concentration goes up another level, but I'm pretty happy with the spring.
concentration goes nice season seven
I've been pretty happy, (but) once the season starts, your concentration goes up another level. It's nice to get seven innings.
balls biggest days double fan games ruining running
I've always been his biggest fan even when I've been on the other team. We all know what he can do on defense. Running those balls into the gap, you're going, 'That's a double or a triple.' Then I had flashbacks from his Diamondback days ruining my games from the other end with his glove.
best brian hitter randy saw
I used to think Brian Giles was the best hitter I ever saw when he was hot, but Randy Winn has topped that,
against couple days pitch threw
It was a little overwhelming. They told me a couple of days ago I was going to pitch against the Twins. I didn't know how to prepare. I just went out there and threw strikes.
secret
I don't know what the big secret is.
division heard
I was surprised. I heard he'd been working out hard. The division is kind of up for grabs. I thought he would come back and give us a little boost. ... If you're hurt, you're hurt.
felt hitter hitting playing spots
I felt good. I was just working on hitting my spots more than anything, kind of playing catch. It's a different look with a hitter up there.
