game last spring week
It varies. Ideally, it should come down to the last week of spring training. Now it's more like a regular-season game in how things would be.
game last won
This is a game we probably wouldn't have won last year.
game pitch varies
My out pitch varies from game to game. What he has to know is what pitch sequences I like to use, the pitch I use to set up another pitch.
against both damage faced guy past trouble worried
I was more worried about Moises Alou, personally, just because of past experience. Moises for me is a guy I've had a lot of trouble with, and I think I've faced him a lot more as well. They are both dangerous, but I think Alou has done a lot more damage against me.
both damage dangerous past worried
I was more worried about Moises Alou, personally, because of past experience. Both are dangerous but Alou has done more damage to me.
cooperate help
Who is going to cooperate if they go public? You want to help us out and incriminate yourself? And then (MLB will) tell the world you cheated?
feels felt good
It feels good. I've felt really good for weeks.
chance diego forward hoping looking san seem solid
I think he's just hoping to get an opportunity. It didn't seem like he ever got a real solid chance in San Diego to show what he can do. I think that's what he's looking forward to most.
time
Yeah, Pedro drilled me my first time up with an 0-2 pitch. But I got that double.
guess happens nine rest
I don't think I've ever pitched on nine days' rest before. I guess we'll see what happens after that.
felt numbers ready
I'd just like to know, so I can prepare. Other than the numbers today, I felt great, so pretty much I'm ready to go.
confidence love main stuff throw trust
Most of us around here would love to throw with the stuff he's got. The main thing is to keep his confidence going and for him to trust his stuff.
head start stuff trust turning wish
Most of us here wish we had his stuff. He just has to keep his head up and trust his stuff and things will start turning around.
days felt few good location
I felt just as good as I did a few days ago, but my location was better today.
