His defense is continually improving and is something he takes a lot of pride in. Also he's going to steal some bases. |
His demeanor, his rhythm, the pace of game -- all of that is what you expect and what you need from your No. 1 starter. That's something he can bring every night, whether his best stuff's with him or not. |
His fastball was short (Friday), and his command was mediocre. That being said, you're normally not able to make that statement and have a pitcher only give up one run in five-plus innings at Coors Field. So he deserves a pat on the back for that. |
His hip wasn't a factor. His command was an issue. He basically pitched out of the stretch the entire time he was out there. |
His humility, his work ethic and he has a unique passion for the game. And he's going to be what, 21 next month? So, he just needs to play, and we'll see how it works out. The beauty of any young player that can play is when they force your hand. |
His right hip flexor was still a little sore yesterday. He was unable to complete his bullpen session. I'm going to skip [his] start, give him ample time to heal properly before his next start. |
His strikeouts are a little alarming for his number of at-bats, |
His voice was stronger. He got a big kick out of the game last night. He sent text messages to the players after. |
Hitting a Major League baseball. I wasn't that good at either one. I think I've got the marriage thing nailed down now and that took me three tries. I know I can't hit the fastball anymore. |
I actually thought we had a chance to win the game when I pulled [Zach Day]. If Sun-Woo could have given us a stop, I felt we would have won that game. He faced the first hitter, and you thought he was locked in. After that he was locked out. |
I am having a blast watching Stewart play. That is a big day with a couple of hits coming off left-hand arms. He struck balls well in the big part of the ballpark. He is a good looking young player. |
I believe in my heart that if we are to going to win here (long-term), ... it's going to be with pitching and defense. |
I believe the longer he goes without one, the more he's due. |
I didn't agree. But I have never seen them change a call yet. |
I didn't put a lot of stock into the [scouting] reports, other than the fact they said he was a good athlete and a solid defensive player, and he could be projected to either side of the diamond. |
