00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:11.160
I went out to spring training early this year. I was out the first week of February and camps

2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.620
didn't open. They didn't open and it hurt my chances for making the team.

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.640
How about your army? Had some problems there? Were you pitching too much or what was it?

4
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:23.160
Well, I pitched I think eight days in a row and I was pitching two, three innings at a

5
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:28.140
time and that's too much for myself. Maybe some guys can do it, I can't. But Mark Grissom

6
00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:32.060
found something in my pitching motion and he straightened me out and it hasn't bothered me

7
00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:36.980
since. You like the bullpen roll? Yeah, I like the bullpen. I like to come every day and feel like

8
00:00:36.980 --> 00:00:40.680
I could help the team, you know, maybe pitch. If you're starting pitching, you pitch once every

9
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:45.580
five days. If you get bombed, you got four days to think about it. How about pitches? What's in

10
00:00:45.580 --> 00:00:50.480
your repertoire? I throw a fork ball, fastball and slider. What does Marv Grissom work with you? What

11
00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:55.600
does he do during the week? Well, he works on my motion and my follow through and different things

12
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.680
like that. Marv didn't throw a fork ball when he was pitching so it's kind of tough for him to

13
00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:04.180
help me. He can help me as far as the arm position, the follow through and bending the back and the

14
00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:08.880
fielding position. But as far as throwing the actual pitch, Joe Coleman's helped me with that

15
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:09.620
since I've been here.
