After three weeks in a cast he was back running stairs and after 10 weeks he was back in a cast,
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.
I felt good. I felt the excitement and adrenaline running through my body. It was definitely fun, even if the results weren't there.
At any point against this team, if they have guys on base, it's a big at-bat. Regardless of how many runs (the lead is), those are big outs for you. You try everything you can against him. You can't get a guy like that out the same way every time. You kind of have to come up with new things and keep him guessing. It's always a challenge.
It's frustrating. We tried to do everything we could to get back as soon as possible. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do. Sometimes you just got to let things run its course.
It's frustrating. We tried to do everything we could to come back. This is something that needs to run its own course.
In May, the sixth and seventh inning comes and you are familiar with it. You don't feel tired. It makes a big difference.
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 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.
