Today, I couldn't even do that because of my back. Even staying on top was difficult. I was very inconsistent because of the discomfort in my back. I don't even know where I was mechanically.
It's been four days of pain. I knew I could pitch and get the team through five innings. I feel like I had good stuff. I was staying on top of the pitches because I couldn't bend over.
I had good stuff, ... I was staying on top of the ball because I could not bend down. It was a blessing in disguise, because I could stay on top of my changeup and my fastball.
