Mark Prior Ball Quotations

I felt out of synch all day. The ball never felt comfortable coming out of my hand.

I feel good. I like the way we've progressed and built it up. It's more volume to build up arm strength and then start getting into the other pitches. In the past, I've gone through my fastball bullpens and then I start mixing in breaking balls. I like the way we're going about it and I like the way I'm throwing the ball.

I didn't have good command of my breaking ball or my fastball tonight. For whatever reason, things weren't clicking early on when I needed it.

I was really surprised because of the way I felt throwing. I felt like I was throwing the ball well.

We made a lot of mistakes as pitchers last year. We didn't cover the bag at first a few times, threw the ball to the wrong bases. I think we all need to make sure we're focused this spring on doing the things we need to get better at. They're small, but obviously very huge parts of the game.

I was probably a little tired. I was looking for a ground ball and I got it and it took a bad hop.

I was out of sync, ... I felt out of sync all day. I never was able to get into a groove, for whatever reason -- I don't know. The ball never felt comfortable coming out of my hand today. My breaking ball was awful. Some days you show up and for whatever reason it doesn't line up.

I got what I was looking for ? a ground ball ? and unfortunately, it took a bad hop.
