A couple of times last year, I'd throw a good one and the majority were just not real good. I'm guiding it. I don't have any conviction to throw it yet. I've got to get that feeling back in my hand where it just feels good coming out of my fingertips.

I can bunt better to move runners, and I can hit better. I've worked on it and want to see how much I've improved.

I felt good. Last time I probably threw about 35 pitches and felt OK. This time I threw 55 pitches and felt like I could have gone more, which is good.

He's the type of manager where if you get your work done, do it right and hustle, you get off the field. If you don't hustle, don't do it right, you'll be here all day. Honestly, that's the way it should be when you have a young team. A lot of these guys were in 'A' ball last year.

I don't have a problem doing it.

He was a tough out. You know you're getting old when some of the guys you played against are your coaches.
