Everyone knew he'd come back and pitch well. I'm just happy he's OK.

Not the way he was pitching. Everyone knew he'd come back and pitch well. I'm just happy he's OK.

We wanted to try and get at least one run because we knew who was coming up for them.

Jolly McCarty was one of my best friends. You never knew what he did because he did so much. He always worked behind the scenes, never taking credit for what he did. He was the ambassador for Merchants & Marine Bank and for our community.

We watch so much film, calling up pitch by pitch, count by count in order to spot tendencies. Technology is a big part of how I get ready for a game. What's funny is a lot of the NFL guys say they study the 'Madden' game; that's how they learn to read offenses and defenses.

I feel like I could pitch, but at the same time they want to be cautious, and that's OK. I'll deal with it and make sure I'm 100 percent.
