arm bothering catch couple felt hoping loose playing secondary slept today tried woke
Today didn't go that well. My arm was bothering me from when I woke up, so I'm hoping it's just that I slept on it wrong. I tried to get loose and see if felt any better, but it didn't, so I just didn't want to take my chances. Playing catch is no fun, but that's secondary right now. That'll come, hopefully, in another couple of weeks.
city felt letting mentally people playoffs season team year
Mentally and physically, this has been the most difficult, most exhausting, most frustrating season I've ever had. Being an Astro my whole career, I felt the same way about this team that a lot of people did, that this was the year we'd get through the playoffs and into a World Series. And I felt that I was letting the team and the city down.
felt good knees level pain tough
I felt all right. (Today) will be a good (gauge) of how I feel. With the adrenaline, it's tough to tell what your pain level is, but it wasn't too bad. Physically, I didn't go to my knees in pain, so it's all good so far.
control embarrass felt problem work
I said I wasn't going to embarrass myself, and I felt like this was a joke. I don't have a problem with my work ethic. I don't have a problem with determination. But I can't control what's going on in my shoulder.
almost april bit camp felt prove ready sit trial
Just to get out here, get back on the field, I felt like it was a little bit of a trial camp today. I felt like I almost had to try and prove something, but yet I've got to sit back and say, 'No, I don't, I just have to get ready for April 1.
felt few last test time tomorrow
I just wanted to give it some time to see how I've felt the last few days. Tomorrow will be a big test when I get there and see how I feel.
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.
figure sit
Eventually, he and I are going to have to sit down and talk. When that is, we'll figure it out at some point.
easier guy hard loved soft throwing toss wish
Easier said than done, ... It's not like the guy is throwing soft toss to me. It's hard in those situations. I loved the opportunity, and I wish I had the at-bat over again. That's just not the way it is.
honestly team wait
The team can't wait on me. They need to know now. I think I'll honestly know if I can or can't.
opportunity towards
Towards the end of my career, I didn't want an opportunity like this to go by.
