Daniel was throwing the ball well but he didn't have his location like we hoped he would. Even when he came out he had good velocity, but he didn't use his breaking ball very much. He just didn't locate his pitches, that's all.

DuBose didn't locate very well. One of the things that he was using that was successful last time was his big breaking ball. He used it one time tonight and got hit and he didn't go to it anymore. So, basically, he had fastball and change up and he was behind in the count. You're not going to have success that way.

Enough to where he's got to turn on the ball a little bit more.

Every organization at one time or another brings somebody up from the minor leagues that hasn't played a lot down there. They're special people. I think Nick is a special person. He's earned a spot on this ball club.
|
Everything's status quo. We're just going to sit tight on that and see what happens.
|
Good pitching makes you sluggish, at least makes you look that way.

He [Cabrera] did great. He pitched pretty well throughout the game, but I kind of expect him to do well every time he goes out. It's just a matter of time before he can get it together and really help us. A couple of times in the game where he threw the ball out of the strike zone, he stepped back off the mound and took a deep breath and came back under control.
|
He can be pitched to, but we didn't do it today.
|
He can't help us halfway. It's difficult just to DH him.
|
He didn't command his fastball very well, or his breaking ball early on. Daniel has great stuff; it just took him an extra inning to corral it.
|
He didn't try to do anything wrong. If he was inside, he wasn't very far inside.
|
He does so many things at home plate that confuses you and puts you on the edge. He puts a lot of pressure on the defense.
|
He has been up to the competition that he faced so far. As we get deeper into the spring, we'll see how he does against the better pitching.
|
He has confidence now that he can pitch consistently in the major leagues. Those kind of things are big when you're talking about next year and putting a staff together again.
|
He has had six weeks, and four of his starters were gone for three weeks. But he's had an impact. I guarantee you as the season goes on, they'll keep on getting better and better. You'll definitely see some results.
