 I was in my head I was like man I wish I could have gotten a little more in-game work there but you know what for the first one shorter is better quick and clean get in get out I'm healthy I feel great just some of the little things getting back into compete mode again see how the delivery carries over I'll have to go back and watch video to you know see but it felt really good it felt clean I feel healthy those are all the big takeaways I think I finished up with about 10 more just so that you know to bridge the gap to the two in and out again make that a little easier great Joyce you have the next question please unmute yeah so I'm not used to not starting so that was different in in my mind earlier and then you know we've got such an easy access to the backfield there I was able to warm up right as pretty much as I would if I were starting the game so that was really nice I didn't have butterflies once I got to the field but waking up today it definitely felt a little different so I was a little nervous but other than that once I got going once I'm on the mountain stuff that's kind of like my safe spot where I'm confident so it felt good we can go next to Christy Acker Christy go ahead hi James what what's the next step for you what did you did you throw everything today and how did they feel yeah so the next step will be just getting into a tuning game upping the pitch count I didn't get to throw any change ups today that pitch usually just kind of comes last in my mind the other pitches take a little bit of priority over that one but I'd love to just kind of run some more sequences together and just honestly get back in game mode and get to face more hitters that's really the next step is just to turn a line up over see the hitters more than once see how my stuff plays we go next to Eric Boland Eric go ahead yeah I've enjoyed throwing to Gary he made a really good impression on me because my first few bullpens he wasn't lined up to catch me but he was sitting right behind the catcher watching every pitch locked in and he made some comments to me after my bullpens and stuff about what he saw so you know for me that was a great first impression and he's making a really strong effort to get to know me and work with me so you know the more reps we get together the more in-game experience we get together the better we'll be but so far so good I'm a pretty easy guy to catch there's nothing too specific I like to just sequence my pitches together I told him a few like good sequences I like and I've used in the past and besides that I like to give the catcher the freedom to see what the hitters doing and to call their game we go to Greg Joyce yeah so let's see spring training at 14 I had TJ I think my first game back was just like a GCL game in Clearwater so less fans which it was nice to have fans today and I was facing much younger hitters I wasn't facing experience like 40-man roster big league hitters so this is a great test first game back getting to be against big leaders on a big league stadium or big league spring training stadium against a big league lineup so definitely different and I'm at a way different point in my life
