My command was pretty terrible, obviously. I can't remember the last time I've hit three batters in one game, walked two guys on top of that and pitched behind in the count so much. None of that was good.

I just wish I was more efficient and that definitely starts with command. That's kind of my No. 1 thing coming into spring training, locating the baseball.Ted Lilly
I definitely was more conscious of making sure I didn't take any chances on doing something that would set me back. I think the last two springs were kind of fluke-ish. At the same time, I'm more conscious of it, but I don't want to worry about it so much that I don't live a normal life.

I definitely would have liked to have started. But I just didn't want to make it worse.
Ted Lilly
I felt like I had to not let it get away, especially against a good lineup like that. You don't make pitches early and they take advantage of their opportunities. We got out of it without a whole lot of damage.

The organization expects me to be a significant contributor and I certainly expect that of myself. When I go into any season, the last four years, I believed that I was going to get the ball 30-32 times, if healthy. I want to be one of those guys who wins 20 games. That's always been a goal of mine. Even after last year, I still have those types of high expectations.
Ted Lilly
A lot of times, they feel that pressure.
