Incredible, I mean he threw the ball great, kept the ball down and obviously swung the bat well. He did everything and more to help himself and pitched a great game.
atmosphere ball change drive felt hits last opening seems three travel weeks
I'll take three hits on Opening Day anywhere. I felt better the last two weeks of spring. I felt I could drive the ball. Things change when you get in a major-league stadium, the atmosphere changes, the ball seems to travel a little farther.
ball bunch gets good hard kept life moved picking talk time
He had good life on his ball. I think if you go around and talk to a bunch of hitters, they'll say they have a hard time picking the ball up. The ball gets on you. He's sneaky. He kept the ball down and moved it around and had good life on it.

When all the smoke clears, he says, you don't have any options, you have to have surgery. Not maybe, it's no, you cannot. The timing is the issue, that's the decision to make.
