good guys missed pitch soon today
I wanted to pitch good today and show them that I'm here for the duration. It was important for me to get back with the guys as soon as I could because I missed 'em.
bullets offensive
I wanted to keep as many offensive bullets as I could.
affect best bright coming early facing lights seeing single spring
It's going to affect everybody. The bright lights are coming on awfully early this year. I sometimes go the whole spring without seeing any of the horses, without facing a single big-league hitter. Now, it's going to be nothing but. I'm going to be facing the best right off the bat.
easy free stuff week
It's easy to say stuff like that when there's only a week to go in the season. A.J.'s a free spirit. He's got to live with his comments.
dividing hard swallow team
It's hard to swallow this right now. This can be a dividing point. We'll see what kind of team we have now.

It was the coolest thing I've done on the field in a while.
bad direction everybody good inner loved pulling struggles team tear
I've been on good teams, I've been on bad teams, every good team I've ever been on we loved each other. You need everybody pulling in the right direction because there's just too much that can tear a team apart. You don't need inner struggles to do that.
bringing buy consumer gotten target
They haven't gotten there yet on the merchandising front. Bringing the Target consumer to buy at Wal-Mart, that's the big stretch.
There's a whole lot of fastballs out there.
breaking knew older ready
It's just frustrating. I don't want to have to hear, 'Here we go. The guy's getting older and the body's breaking down. I knew he couldn't do it again.' But, hopefully, in two weeks, I'll be ready to go.
bigger close few front given great guys number present ready situation
It's a big number for anybody, but it's probably a bigger number for me, because I haven't done it in a few years. There are a lot of guys out there who can close if they are given the opportunity. Or they are out there in front of a guy who is a great closer. Whatever, the situation doesn't present itself. You have to be ready when it does present itself.
felt pitches
Of the 20-something pitches I threw, I think only two weren't strikes. So I felt pretty good. I was very happy. Not once did I feel anything that made me think about it.
greatest hitter needs
Now he needs 800 more at-bats to be the greatest hitter in history,
chalk easter time
I chalk it up to the whole time period, with the Easter shift. I don't see it as anything systemic.
