awhile ball general guess head hit muscles strong takes trying
I thought it all went well. I was just trying to get the (bat) head out. In general I guess I did. I hit the ball on the barrel, which is good. It's coming. I just need to keep hitting. It takes awhile to get those muscles strong again.

balls great
Oh, yeah, he made those great plays. What would have been if those balls got through?
balls bed examined extent good heart heck hospital saw seeing swings threw took videotape
I threw 20 balls and took about 15 swings on videotape and went and saw Dr. Andrews, who was a heck of a trouper for seeing me in his hospital bed after a heart attack. We had a good conversation. He examined me, and that's about the extent of it right now.
ball bat couple guy head high miles per swung throwing throws whether
I swung at a couple of high fastballs, but I'm getting the bat head there. I just need to get the ball down a little bit. He's a guy that just comes in and throws hard. Whether you have 35 or 40 postseason at-bats, a guy throwing 100 miles per hour, it's not that easy.

ball gets
If that ball gets down the line, maybe. But you can't ever look back like that.
ball bounce expect focus happy later legs main night throw today whether
Today it wasn't bad, for me to be able to come back after the other night and be able to bounce back. I'm happy with it. I don't expect to be able to know whether I can play right now. This is a little too early, I've got to get through my soreness first and then a little later on see what I can do. Right now my main focus is to get out there and throw the ball in between innings, get my legs under me, things like that.
ball bunch farther greatest pitches player saw spring today training
That ball actually went farther than I thought it would, so that was good. I've said before I'm not the greatest spring training player in the world. I saw a bunch of pitches today which was good. The more pitches I see the better I'll get.
air ball
The first thing I thought about when the ball went into the air was Craig.
ball couple decisions fast felt good guy hard high job last swung throws
The last one cut. I felt all right the whole at-bat, the whole night, but I swung at a couple of high fastballs. I didn't do a good job of getting the ball down. He's a guy who just comes in and throws hard stuff. With a guy like that, you've got to get it going, because decisions have to be made fast or it's sayonara.

bottom changes deal line win
We win that game, it changes the whole series. But the bottom line is, we didn't, and we've got to deal with that.
sore start
It was a little sore to start with, but the more I went, the better it felt.
