It's experience I guess, ... Sometimes, especially this time of year, you have to will yourself through some innings. I'm just real fortunate.
It's Houston, Texas, New York and Boston. I love all those places, they have great players that I respect very much.
There will be a week I get up and I feel like I can do it again and then the next week, I don't want to get out in the outfield and start running those poles and doing those things. If last year's World Series was it for me, I'm more than happy. I know we didn't reach our ultimate goal, but it was a lot of fun. I have a lot to think about.
There's a big part of my heart that's missing now with my mother gone, ... I knew I pitched for her, but I didn't realize how much I did that.
I told him I wanted to come see things in Surprise.
It's a legendary name, a guy that I've met on several occasions at a couple of golf tournaments,
I told them there was no way I was going to run out on them,
For me, it's almost like I turn into a robot, I've done it for so many years. I'm a creature of habit. I've got a great program, I love to do it, so I'm doing it.
For me, I'm noticing about the 30-hour mark is when the soreness sets in. I was able to work a lot of that out and come back today.
This is what playoff baseball is all about. That's why you get up in December to work.
It was everything I expected it to be, a lot of pride. Finally, everything's come together.
It was a lot of fun when he started showing up in the mornings working with us, ... That is how things took off once we became teammates.
It was a tough week for him, ... and he certainly wanted to shine for everyone.
The offers I have received are flattering. There's nothing that says I can't pitch a full season.
