ball behind count hand hitters limited nice recognize
It's nice to have that (changeup) when you're behind in the count and not limited to fastball-breaking ball that the hitters recognize out of hand early,
badly came ended fastball inner next supposed
It was two badly located fastballs right there that ended up getting me. A badly located fastball to Sierra. It was supposed to be away, it came right back to the inner third. The same thing to the next hitter.
arm bullpen felt honest strongest
To be honest with you, in the bullpen and the first inning, that's the strongest my arm felt in a while,
regardless
I didn't want to get better any more just because I was out of the rotation. I wanted to get better regardless of where I was.
aggressive ahead hitters staying
It's all about staying aggressive and getting ahead of hitters. I didn't get ahead of many hitters at all tonight.
happens
It's part of the game. It happens to a lot of players. What can you do about it? I feel good. I'll go out and see what happens.
best fresh guys happened last maybe rough spring start team time year
It's been an unbelievable Spring Training. After last year, to get a fresh start with a new team is the best thing that could have happened to me. These guys went through a rough time last year -- so did I -- so maybe we can all have a better year this time.
bats definitely guys later nice outing swung tonight
Unfortunately, it's a lot later than I wanted it to be, but its definitely nice to be back. Tonight wasn't really where I need to be, but these guys swung the bats so well it made my outing look better than it was.
bit bob experience helped several teams
There were several teams that showed interest. I've had a little bit of experience with Bob McClure in 2000 in Single-A. He helped me out a lot.
best felt since
This is the best I've felt since before I had the surgery.
point rushing slow
It got to a point where I was rushing through everything. I had to try and slow everything down. I never did.
execute pitches
I was able to execute pitches when I had to.
ball behind left life
Overall, I was a little impatient. I didn't have a lot of life on my fastball. I got behind on a lot of counts. I left the ball up a little, too.
ahead chance game good hitters team
I really thought I was going to have a good game and give my team a chance to win, even after the first inning, but it didn't happen. I didn't get ahead of too many hitters tonight.
