I just made a bad pitch, and he jumped on it, ... I took a chance at that time because I knew Ichiro was coming up behind him and I didn't want to put him on base.

They're giving me a couple of days here, so hopefully after all this treatment and rest, everything will be fine,

A lot of people blew it off and said he's not sick, he just wasn't playing well,

Everything feels great (health-wise) - it just doesn't feel together yet. It's like two pieces; the body goes, then the arm goes.

You don't know if he's OK or not, but I had a job to do. I had guys that I had to try to get out. I was just hoping he was OK.

The only thing anybody's thinking about is what happened, ... We're all packing up our lockers a little bit too early. Everybody's disappointed.

We're all happy for him, and I think he's probably happy he's playing well when so many people talked so poorly about him last year. Now he's able to do the things he's doing.

It feels like everything in the middle of my back is just locked up. I'll give it a couple of days, see how it gets loose. . . . Each day it's getting better.

I was trying to go fastball in and I just got it in too deep. I don't care who gets upset about it. I'm still trying to work on my command; I've been struggling this whole spring.
