We talked last night when he got in and he said he was ready to go. He looked free and easy out there today. He still throws hard. |
We tried everything. They had two groundballs that found holes and Cabrera centered a ball. It was a good win for them and a tough loss for us. |
We walked him the right amount of times. |
We walked too many people. That was the difference. That's a tough lineup. They can do enough damage without us helping them. |
We want him to back off a little, take a deep breath and make a contribution in another role. |
We want him to keep pitching well, maybe work on his breaking ball. It just doesn't fit for us right now, but it will again. |
We want to keep in mind that up until Wednesday he had pitched pretty well. We'd like to see him right the ship. |
We were fortunate tonight with all the walks and the hit batter. We had to scrap to get through it, but those are the games you like to win even though there were some things we could have done better. |
We were in a position where we needed a pitcher [Friday] who was capable of elongated innings. |
We were sitting there getting ready to be in our bullpen early. |
We'll run them both out there and see what happens. We have some good options. |
We'll see how he feels tomorrow and see if he needs more tests. It looks like we may have gotten lucky. |
We'll see what the next two days bring and then we'll have a better feel for it. I'm sure he felt it [Sunday], but he didn't tell us until today. His velocity was less than normal. That's not unusual in Spring Training for a lot of people, but it was down. |
We'll see, ... where it takes us. |
We'll sit down each day and see how he feels. |
