I'm getting beat by the same pitch. It's my slider, ... It used to be my bread and butter. It hasn't come around like I thought it was going to. To come to this level, they make you realize if it's good or not, and right now it's not. All my hits are off that.

If you have extraordinary bread and extraordinary butter, it's hard to beat bread and butter.

This summer should beat last summer. The lineup is better. Studios are returning to their bread and butter, which are sequels. Last summer there were a lot of remakes that didn't excite audiences.

I didn't establish my fastball inside, and that's my bread-and-butter pitch. I made a mistake to Nomar, left a pitch over the plate. Everything else was fine, but I couldn't get that pitch where I wanted to. I wasn't able to make adjustments. I let the guys down.

Sometimes [the elbow] feels powerful and sometimes it doesn't. Usually the days when it doesn't is the days I pitch well. Hopefully it'll feel worse, I guess. It feels as good as can be expected for the time I'm coming back from a major reconstruction.

Our defense is our bread and butter.
