I'm playing long-toss and feeling better, ... Maybe in the next 10 days I can start throwing in the bullpen. It's not bothering me now, and I'm starting to throw harder.

It's no good. I started throwing, and when I go down, when I release the ball, it pinches me.

I just got tired. I hadn't started a game in a month. And after throwing long toss, then a bullpen, I just ran out of gas. ... My arm is fine.

Strike one, strike two. Good location - hitting spots. If you throw strikes, guys have to swing. That's what happened.

For us, it's big. Because it's like the World Cup. It's like a Super Bowl. It's crazy.

Playing the way we were playing, I didn't have the desire to come to the ballpark. This year, from what I see from the beginning of spring training, the chemistry is different.
