baseball enjoy people pitching saying wrong
I actually find baseball kind of boring. It's not my life. Pitching is something I enjoy doing and I'm probably going to get a lot of people that are a little chapped at me for saying that, but just don't take it the wrong way.
hurdle last pick son squat
The big hurdle was after my last injections. Me being able to squat down and pick up my son with no pain, that's a big hurdle.
deserve good job series
I'm not going to brag, but I think I did a pretty good job in that series and I'll be selfish. Yeah, I think I do deserve that ball.
plane six spring wait weeks
I'm excited. (After) six weeks of spring training, I'm drained. I can't wait to get on that plane and get it going for real.
feeling worry
I'm feeling good, and I'm here to be at the back end of the bullpen. If I'm back to where I want to be, you don't have to worry about my head.
accomplish closer definitely main months
I'm definitely closer than I was two months ago, ... I'd like to think I'm important to this team. I need to be here to accomplish our main goal.
hill
I kind of told them I can kind of feel it going down hill again.
ball defensive felt guessing high hitters mitt pitches snap today velocity
I made some better pitches today. I had a little better snap on the ball. I felt better today than I have in a long, long time. The velocity is back up in the high 80s. But more important, it was getting on the hitters pretty quick. That's what I need to do. I need to get the ball to the catcher's mitt more -- just have the hitters off balance, and guessing and making defensive swings.
bothering knee protect shoulder throwing
I had to protect my knee so I started throwing everything very stiff-legged. That's when my shoulder started bothering me.
encouraged felt guys hopefully month next red sure today
I'm not where I want to be, but I'm better. It felt pretty good. We got some guys out today. Hopefully we can do the same for the next month and a half. I'm sure (the Red Sox) are as encouraged today as I was.
dominating entire excited forward pitch struggling time work
It will probably be the first time I'll actually look forward to going down there. We've got a lot of work to do, but after struggling the entire year, I'm really excited about getting back to the way I know I can pitch and, hopefully, get back to being a dominating pitcher.
champagne chill five games script starting
Don't know, don't know. No way to tell. I'd like to say we'd be up five games and they'd be starting to chill the champagne right now, but I have no idea, ... There's no way to tell. That's why we have to go out there and actually do it. You can't write the script in this game.
chance gives odds
As long as you're alive, you're not a has-been, you're a gonna-be. And if someone gives you a chance and you have the talent, odds are you'll be.
history losing
That's what we're saying: 'Let's make history,' ... We don't want to go down in history as losing this series. We have T-shirts that say 'Why not us?'
