guys hit low meant outside throw
It was a mistake. I meant to throw it low and outside and I let it get up. A lot of guys would hit that out.
obviously strong taking verge
It's not as strong as it obviously was with Kris and Jae. Jae was on the verge of really taking off. But it's still pretty solid.
against belt exactly fastball pitch relax
It was a fastball down. No pitch is ever exactly where you want it, but that one wasn't belt high, right down the middle. It's not just Chipper. It's all those guys. You can never relax against them.
april came spring
This is like April for me, like you just came out of spring training.
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.
best came felt last quickly reminder time
This was better than the last time I was here. ... It's just a reminder of how quickly I came back. And this is the best I've felt this spring.
What am I going to tell them? Put me in Pedro's spot?
game last won
This is a game we probably wouldn't have won last year.
belt fastball high
A fastball down to Chipper and that was it. It wasn't belt high or anything like 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.

I felt just as good as I did a few days ago, but my location was better today.

I feel like I located the ball real well.
