Four or five weeks, you mean.

I have good days and bad days. I’m still off a little bit on my mechanics.

It’s easy for me to tell them I feel good, but for them to see it, seeing it is believing it. It should be really good for their confidence. I never throw like that this...

We haven’t seen a lot of relievers win that award, so I was a little worried,

I was fluid today but I didn’t throw enough strikes.

It feels really good, so I’ll start to play catch and see how it feels. If it’s OK, we’ll continue. If not, we’ll back off and wait a little longer.

It’s not a step back, it’s a step forward. When you don’t do good, that’s when you go in and make adjustments. You’ve got to learn from it, and you’ve got to know where your...

I was pleased, especially with the hitters in there. I was under control, staying inside myself and throwing about 80 percent. The ball was going where I wanted it to, which is a big thing.

It is tough losing the guys we did, … But we have the best pitching in the division and pitching is the name of the game.

I’m more loose. I threw everything. I’m cutting loose. I’m going all out. I just need to get my arm strength up.

I don’t really care about the streak,

I’m up for it, … We just need to be successful.

I felt all right. It was better than I thought it would be. I was kind of anxious and nervous, but it turned out all right.

But I feel better than I usually feel at this time of spring. I’m just battling, trying to get some work in.

The fans mean everything, … The feeling I get when I pitch is amazing. It’s the best feeling. Words can’t describe it. The fans mean so much.

I’m very disappointed because I thought this would be behind us. It was a decision where I wanted to be 100 percent and be myself and enjoy it because I can’t pitch with that kind...

I expect to be what I used to be. I know I’m going to be the same pitcher I used to be.

[–] You need to add a 40-home-run guy and a guy who hits .310, that’s two hitters, … You need to re-sign Jeff Weaver, the innings he gives us are priceless….

It was all right, not as fluid [as last week’s debut]. I felt good on the mound, but I was all over the place. My changeup was good, but I have to make adjustments mechanically....

I felt perfect on the mound. I threw all fastballs. I hoped to get to throw some more but the hitters were swinging at the first pitch. But if I have to choose five pitches...

For me, the All-Star game doesn’t count,

I expected to feel good but I didn’t expect to have so much zip on my fastball and movement on my change-up. I was surprised. It’s reassuring.

I’m not bitter. That’s the business side of it. There’s no hard feeling, … Now, it’s going to be a different story.

I didn’t believe that then and I still don’t. Unrelated.

That was my best time in baseball there. He’s the best ever.
