Picture

Question 1: Hello, our names are Matt, Lambert, and Rob. Can you please tell us a little bit about who you are?

Answer: This is Ted Lilly. I'm a pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers.


Question 2: After a start, what do you do to recover when you are taken out of the game?

Answer: When I come out of the game, the first thing that I do is go to the clubhouse, and I will put some ice on my shoulder, and then get on the bike and ride the bike for 20 minute while I ice to try and get a little work on my legs and push the lactic acid through my shoulder, and hopefully maintain my health.


Question 3: What types of food do you eat before and after a start?

Answer: As far as foods go, when I'm getting ready for a game, the last thing that I want to do is feel sluggish, so I'm pretty careful about what I eat. I just try to stay away from any heavy foods and bad sugars.
