felt good left
I left it right over the plate. Other than that, I felt pretty good about my night.
best came either gave good left pitches speed swing time trouble
Every time I gave up a run, we came back and got a run. That was huge. I didn't have my best stuff. I was making pitches with my fastball. I was having a little trouble with my off speed pitches. Either they weren't good enough to swing at or they were too good, and I left them up.
felt few game good happened sudden
That's why it was so frustrating. I felt good through the first two outs (of the sixth) and then, bam. That happened a few times in the game where all of a sudden things went bad.
depends feels good
I feel pretty good today, ... It all depends how everything feels tomorrow. That would be something I'd like to do, but I just don't know.
behind establish good happy surgery time whether worried
It's a time to establish a good feeling. I'm pretty happy with the way it's gone. I didn't know how it would feel after the surgery and whether I'd be behind or not, and I was kind of worried about that. I'm ready.
feeling finish good job raining
I had a good feeling about that. I think everyone did. It started raining harder, we had to finish it, and he's really good at getting the job done.

It felt really good actually, ... It was definitely a positive.
felt good overall shoulder stronger work
It felt good to get back out there finally, ... Overall I was a little stronger than I expected. I did a lot of strengthening work on my shoulder with the trainers.
against best coming good losing playing teams
That was interesting. I didn't like losing that at-bat, but I had to keep going and keep making my pitches. ... It's a pretty good feeling, coming out and playing like that against one of the best teams in baseball.
against competing starters
In a way, all the starters are kind of competing against each other.
happy help love talk
It's something to talk about. Any way that I can come back and help out the team. If it's the 'pen, I'd be happy doing that. I'd love to start, but ...
love
It's something I would love to do, but I don't know if they'll let it happen.
extend soon throw trying
It's not good. As soon as I started trying to throw changeups and really extend the arm, I could feel it. Hopefully, it doesn't put me back too far.
great huge step
Once I get out there, it will be a huge step for me. It will be great to get that first one out of the way.
