You get a little bit over the rubber, rushing a little bit, and then your arm seems to drop down. It's been a long process, a long year, a frustrating year. But that's been the problem and I'll continue to work on it.
Regarding the unfortunate incident that happened this morning as I was on my way to take a physical, I hope that everyone will understand that the past few days have been a bit overwhelming and I wish I had handled the situation differently, ... I am very sorry it happened.
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.
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.
Felt great, ... Still a little bit of kryptonite in my back, though.
Actually, it's the last place my dad saw me pitch, so it has always had a little bit of meaning when I pitch there.
What's impressive is their starting pitching. You give up three runs to a team like ours, that's impressive. Obviously they've played us well, but they've played other teams well.
This whole thing has been compressed. We're doing the best we can in a bad situation.
To say our offense won't come around is like saying the sun won't come up tomorrow.
We found that students there were taking biology, chemistry and physics for three years in high school, Chinese students want to take math and science. Those are the cool subjects there.
We control our own destiny. I'm sure it'll come down to those last three games in Boston.
Everything I threw over the plate they hit.
Everything's fine, everything's good. It's early in the year. I just (wanted to) take a little breather and let the bullpen come in. They did a nice job.
