Pitchers don't get hit that often, especially above the chest,
It hit me in the back of the elbow, ... I threw some pitches, but it just didn't feel right, so we'll see tomorrow.
When you get hit like that, the only thing you see is the ball right in front of your chin,
I'm not sure, ... When you throw a ball in a game, it's pretty much max effort. When you have a bruise or something tight it affects you a lot more than maybe if you were hit in the neck or something.
I'm not trying to hit anybody first time out.
The ball was hit to first base so I took a step over there. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the bat. I just kind of moved and got hit right on the back of the elbow.
The ball was hit to first base, so I took a step toward there, ... and then out of the corner of my eye, I saw the bat and it was kind of like the Seattle thing, at the last second, and I just kind of tried to move away.
It's what I expected after getting hit in the neck with a ball. It's sore. It's stiff. ... If there's any way to make my next start, I'll make it.
It's a pitcher's worst nightmare; to throw a ball and the next thing you know, it's right on you, ... I could have gotten hit in the face, so hopefully this will be all right.
