Keith Foulke Shoulder Quotations

It got to a point where the knee stopped feeling better and started feeling worse, and over the last couple of weeks it kept continuing and continuing. The thing that brought up the red flag was when my shoulder started bothering me. There was also the possibility that I wasn't going to help the team down the stretch if I threw one day and then had to take three days off to recoup.

My shoulder feels really strong. I have zip on the fastball that I haven't had in a long time. This feels better than even last year on those days when, after rehab, I would come out and feel strong.

I was trying to shorten my stride up mechanically, and when you start taking the lower body out of it, you start putting a lot more strain -- the shoulder has to try to stop itself, instead of using the body to stop it -- and that's probably what happened,

I had to protect my knee so I started throwing everything very stiff-legged. That's when my shoulder started bothering me.
