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.
guys hit low meant outside throw

both challenge guy past pitch trouble trying worried
It wasn't like I was trying to challenge him or anything, I was just trying to pitch to him. I was more worried about Moises Alou from past experiences. Moises is a guy I've had trouble with. They're both dangerous.
dangerous eight focus fourth guy guys looked
He looked like Barry. He's just the fourth guy in their lineup, just as dangerous as a lot of other fourth guys. You don't focus too much on him, or the other eight guys are going to kill you.

The Cubs didn't provide much. There was a lot of McDonald's and Taco Bell. Guys didn't shop for fruits and vegetables. They used to shop at 7-Eleven.
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.

It feels good. I've felt really good for weeks.

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.

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.

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.

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.
