It was a very productive day for him. We accomplished what we wanted. |
It would be hard to come back and start and expect five innings and 80 pitches. |
Joe has great instincts. It seems like he can adapt to whatever needs to be done. |
Mainly, he puts every pitcher in a comfort zone. |
Oh yeah, he's going to be in a lot of winning situations for us. He's going to be a big part of a lot of games. |
Outstanding. Even though he's still feeling a little bit under the weather from the food poison, he threw the baseball very well. He'll be good to go on Friday. |
The fact Rich has been sick (with food poisoning) the last few days and lost a little weight, well, we've got time. This won't hurt him. |
The nice thing about it is that, with the exception of Esteban, everyone else was here last year. So everyone knows the drill, what we're doing, what we're trying to do. And Esteban's a veteran, so he'll be fine. |
With his mentality, he knows how to dominate. He takes his game to a different level every time he throws a baseball. He loves to compete, and he's learned his trade. |
