We had people look at it in Florida right before we left and they said it was muscular so it wasn't really a concern. We felt it was something that would go away. I still felt like I could have gone out and pitched It was close, it never got to the point where it went away. It was just kind of in there nagging.
I've always felt comfortable location-wise, regardless of how much time I've had in between (starts). It's just fun to go out and compete again. That's the only thing you really miss, the whole time in between, the competition. I felt great, real happy the whole time out. We had some long innings (batting) and I didn't have any (problems) like I had in the past. I'm excited going forward, threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time.
I wasn't sharp. Physically, I felt good. I need to work on keeping the ball down.

Physically, I felt good. So that's always a good thing early on -- having the health there. The cutter was kind of hit or miss today, so there's still a couple things to work on. Obviously, you would like to start better, but I got my work in.
We tried to do everything we could to get back as soon as possible,
Early on, we thought it was going to go faster than it did. It still shows up in X-rays.
Dye's injury was probably the most serious, ... He fouled a ball off his foot in the post-season.
Orlando is probably the best second baseman I've ever played with. Losing somebody like that always stings a little. But, especially in our division, you have to be able to hit.
Even in the spring when they had so many pitchers at an advanced age I wondered about how they would do,
