They've got a tough lineup. They make you work, regardless of what the score is. It just seems like they have long at-bats, somehow they get on base and it's one of those games where I was pitching out of a lot of jams.
I think you always want to have more pitching. There's a lot of things to fill and you have to kind of prioritize and I think pitching always wins.
I enjoy talking pitching and talking baseball. And I don't have all the answers. I don't claim to, but I'm more than happy to share my beliefs.
When I first came up I was just pitching on talent alone,
In May, the sixth and seventh inning comes and you are familiar with it. You don't feel tired. It makes a big difference.
After three weeks in a cast he was back running stairs and after 10 weeks he was back in a cast,
I had some time off to rest and haven't had any problems ever since then. It's kind of disappeared this winter so that's nice.
It was nice, especially for him. We're pretty similar and it was good to be able to tell him what we have here and to have a couple guys on a staff that you get along with well is nice. I was excited about it just to have a chance to be involved with that process.
It stopped a big inning. It kept us in striking distance and gave us a chance to pile up some runs.
It's been good clubhouse-wise and that always helps. Later on we'll get everyone in there in the same lineup and it will be fun.
It was nice to have that peace of mind. It's something I don't think we would have had done if (not for the insurance).
Anytime you do something different, a lot of attention gets put on it.
Any time we did any of those running exercises, it was obviously the toughest part for me. Simulated games later on got a little tough.
That's always been a question for debate. I think pitchers never like to go back-to-back facing teams but that hitters sometimes feel like they have a better idea of what they're going to see.
