He looked strong. He had a lot of velocity, a lot of speed to his pitches.

His fastball command was a little erratic, but the command on his offspeed pitches was there, and his velocity was good. He got his work in. It did not set him back.

It was exciting to catch a guy that can dominate like that.

We were supposed to be tired, but between the lines this team doesn't think about too much. We're a focused team. From Day One in spring training, all we think about is winning.

It's the same Doc I remember hitting against but he's only getting ready, that's the scary part. I think once he's a 100 per cent ready to go, he's going to be scary.

I really didn't hit the ball that hard. It was a curve ball. I mean, I didn't hit it that hard, but I'm glad it went out.
