Playing catch for the first day, I didn't really feel it at all. I think I'm headed in the right direction.

I might have been thinking about that now if my back didn't give out for a little bit. Right now, all of my focus is on getting back into a game.

Today was the best day so far. I thought everything went pretty well.

It's what I expected after getting hit in the neck with a ball. It's sore. It's stiff. ... If there's any way to make my next start, I'll make it.

It's just happening so fast, and you're just kind of riding it, ... It's not something you think about, because you don't really know any different. You just think that's the way it's supposed to be.

When I first started throwing [after returning from his torn scar tissue in his shoulder], I really screwed up my mechanics and my arm slot. I worked with Billy and he helped me get back in synch. Now, my mechanics are the best they've been in a while.
