By staying back I was able to get the arm angle I need for my fastball and my slider, and I haven't had it consistently. To be able to throw 96 and 97 in the eighth inning after throwing 100 pitches is ... is ... me.
Honestly, I've never thought much about that. It's nice to know. Maybe we should start the season in September next year.
I'm 4-0 against Boston and 0-1 against Tampa. It kind of makes you scratch your head.
I love this stuff. At this point, it's not a marathon anymore, it's a sprint. We're running out of games, and every start is critical.
I love this kind of stuff. Obviously, it's starting to pan out to be the kind of year I was hoping for. Even in my best years, I've had some bad games. I'm extremely focused and realize I have one more start.
I'm throwing everything that I throw right now. The more I throw it, the more effective it will be. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape.
I'll continue to throw and get ready. Whenever they have me slotted to pitch in my first game, I'll be looking forward to it.
I may do it again one more time,
I'm comfortable with all my pitches. I'm throwing strikes and that's the bottom line. My mechanics are the biggest thing and I feel like I'm able to hit my spots now.
I was 19 at one time, too. But I was trying to find my way to class in college.
I want to pitch the way everyone expects me to pitch. And when I don't pitch that way, I get upset.
It's no longer a marathon. It's a sprint now. Every game is critical.
It's real tight right now. It's hard to move. I'm going to continue to get treatment. Hopefully, it will be day to day.
That's another reason why I'm all fired up about this year. We're a veteran team for the most part, but we have a lot of young guys who are going to help us, and we can help them.
