coaching figure hard learn next player poor ready tomorrow trying work
You've just got to learn from a day like today. I'm a poor player if I don't come back and try to get better. I've been working a lot with the coaching staff, really trying to figure this thing out. All I can do is show up tomorrow and work as hard as I can to get ready for the next one." ()

allowed bad ball bit couple far forward handle handling step time work
I don't think you're ever allowed to have a bad day as far as getting ready-wise. (Wednesday) was not a step backwards. After they just scored a couple of runs, you think, 'Let's just get our work in, let's keep the ball down. Let's do some things.' It's my first time handling adversity. You can't have everything rosy for you. You need to see how you handle that, and (Wednesday) was a very step forward in handling a little bit of adversity." ()

ability ball body drive driving fine given harder instead job letting line loose mechanics missing spots staying throw trusting trying within
There's a fine line between letting loose completely and missing spots and staying down through trusting mechanics and letting your body take over and trying to driving the ball down. (Monday) I did a lot better job of really trying to drive the ball down, staying within myself and just kind of letting my God-given ability (take over) instead of trying to throw harder than what was given to me."

There's no such thing to me as not airing it out. I always go all out every time. I am always on go. To me, it's not about competing, it's all about winning." ()

I don't hurt. I don't wake up in the middle of the night hurting. ... Any time you're coming off an injury, you have to stay positive. And I knew one day it would all turn around for me, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a long time being healthy." ()
