I feel pretty good overall. When I'm out there throwing batting practice, it's just what it is, batting practice. To work on my pitches and trying to get something out of it a little bit as far as some intensity.
I feel like I'm 24 again. I had the game taken away from me last year. I feel rejuvenated. I've got peace of mind knowing that the knee is fine, and I'm looking forward to going out there because it's like I dropped off the radar. I was a pretty good pitcher before last year, you know.
Get that damn camera out of my face!
Get out of my face, that's all I ask,
I expect to win every time I go out. The way I would draw it up would be exactly like tonight not very many strikeouts, no walks and a few hits. For the most part, I was pretty efficient.
I don't think people give Pacific enough credit. We knew they had talent and our goal, defensively, was to stop Richardson.
I got a little tight. So, I just stepped out and let someone else pitch. Everything is fine.
He's a throwback pitcher from the day. The game's changed quite a bit since then, but I can still learn. If you think you know everything that's when you'll be sadly mistaken. If I can take some input that he has and apply it towards what I'm doing out there and use it, then that's a good thing.
He saw a lot of things that sometimes you don't see when you're a pitcher out there, and that's mechanics.
Have you guys seen anything like it? ... It's frustrating.
There are situations where employers cannot find American workers to fill jobs.
Just take a little breather and let the bullpen come in. They did a nice job. I don't need to go out there every time and pitch seven, eight innings.
I think it's a great idea, but I also like pre-kindergarten.
He did something that Joe would say, 'That's Bernie being Bernie,'
