I don't do a lot of 'what ifs.
I felt incredible - it was quite an adrenalin rush, and the atmosphere was great. I was too excited to hold anything back.
At the beginning of the year, I didn't know how to handle it because I had never gone through anything like this before. At the end of the year, they were playing phenomenal, I wanted to be with them, be part of the team.
I've never played with a better baseball player than Taylor Harbin. His baseball instincts, his savvy on the field are the best I've ever seen.
It was worth the wait. It felt great. (Catcher Adrian) Casanova called a great game, and it felt awesome.
I'm not into stats. Nine strikeouts is a plus, but the main thing is just to be back. My arm felt great and I was hitting my spots and keeping the ball down.
By the fourth inning, it was down to 82.
The first inning, I felt real sick. I went straight from throwing up to the mound. I was tired, throwing up and I didn't feel that good.
