If I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.
From Cory Lidle
I've learned over the years that it doesn't matter where you pitch in the rotation. For me, preparation is everything.
I want to win as much as anybody. But what am I supposed to do? Go cry in my apartment for the next two weeks?
Yeah, it's risky, but no more risky than driving a car.
Since the trade, I was just thinking about this day and mentally preparing to not get too excited. I knew I was going to have some extra adrenalin out there so I was really doing what I needed to do just to stay calm, you know, just try not to do too much.
On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100%.
Sometimes I felt I got caught up kind of going into the clubhouse non-chalantly sometimes, because all of the other guys in the clubhouse didn't go there with one goal in mind.
I may not be in the weight room as much as some guys, but I get my work done.
I made a lot of good friends in Philadelphia and the last thing that I would want to do is dog anyone in that clubhouse. If I made it sound like that, it was a mistake.
The flying? I'm not worried about it. I'm safe up there. I feel very comfortable with my abilities flying an airplane.
