He had a good ordtak

He had a good set of eyes to watch guys in the bullpen. His biggest strength was always his consistency. He could throw a ball for a strike pretty much anytime he wanted to.

All the kids came over, and their eyes were wide. It was pretty cool. They wanted to see how he does his work, his bullpen routine. It was a great chance for them to watch him.

Well, he's got good stuff. He throws the ball hard. He has a good slider, has a good breaking ball and the ball moves. Right now he's pretty well in a low strike zone on his pitches. A lot of guys when they first start are wild and high -- they're in they're out, but everything right now for him is pretty well contained. He's throwing the ball well.

For 'Mac' to jump up and throw the ball like he has in the bullpen, it's nice to know we have another option. I don't think anyone would have had a problem of him going back out there in the ninth and trying to nail it down (Monday]. It's a good thing. It's a good problem to have. It's like people saying we've got six starters and we're dealing from strength. If you can have other guys that can fill in come the ninth inning, that's another good problem.

I don't know what other bullpen is better in the major leagues. I really don't. We have four setup guys and one of the best closers in baseball. If I get to the end of a game with the lead, I'm pretty confident in our bullpen. That's the strength of our team.

I'm looking for some consistency from some of those guys coming out of that bullpen. Daryl has given up the [home run ] ball a little bit lately, but we need to give him the ball. He's been here three years, and we need to find out whether he's going to be able to help us down the stretch.

I think he's one of the coolest guys ever to watch. I love everything about him. The way he plays the game. The way he throws the ball. He's not scared of anything. He'll throw three interceptions and go back out there and throw a 50-yard bomb with no fear. He's just fun to watch, and he has a cannon, too.

I just go up there and whale away after it and hope it hits the barrel of the bat. I don't think there's any plan. The biggest key is having guys on base. When you do that, he has to throw it for a strike. If he does, he might leave it up, it will tumble more and you can get good swings at it.

Q threw the ball outstanding. He's just a strike machine. We were shocked when he threw that one ball. I thought, 'Well, he probably just wants to throw some extra pitches and get some work in.' I haven't sat down and determined a role yet, but he will be very active in our bullpen.

We know they can hit the ball. Phillip (Watson) does a good job keeping you off balance. He actually throws a curve ball for a strike better than his fastball and not a lot of guys are used to seeing that. Then Josh Bradshaw came in and did a good job on the mound. He throws the ball over the plate. He's pretty fearless.

I wanted to throw between 60 and 65 [pitches], and I think I threw 64, so it was good. I'm still trying to build my arm strength up. I'm a little bit behind the other guys.

[That's partly because the starting pitching has been much improved (17-9, 4.30 ERA) since the All-Star break. The most consistent pitcher of late has been lefthander Johan Santana, who was 4-2 with a 2.83 ERA since taking a permanent spot in the rotation on July 11. To help the Twins' other starters, who were frequently overthrowing, Anderson instructed them to throw only in the lower half of the strike zone during bullpen sessions between starts. He told them that he wants to see the catchers' mitts moving downward to receive every pitch during those workouts.] If they're constantly throwing to the glove in the bullpen, ... then go into a game with the adrenaline [pumping], everything they throw [will go high in the strike zone].

We wanted to throw him an off-speed pitch, but Cory (Rasmus) couldn't throw it for a strike. So we had to challenge him, and he crushed it. It was like someone hit a golf ball with a driver.

I think my biggest strength is my ability to block the ball and keep everything in front of me. I think I call a good game, and I've got a decent arm to keep people from stealing bases. I'm also pretty good at blocking the plate and getting outs. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. I actually like it when I'm part of a collision at the plate. It's fun to hold onto the ball and get that out.

You've got to throw strikes. That's with most young guys. Throw strikes, throw quality strikes. Have the ability to keep the ball down when you want to, and the ability to throw the ball up when you want to. When you throw the ball outside, you don't want it to creep back inside. The main thing is just relax. Work on his mound presence some, where you don't give the opposition any psychological advantage so they can tell if you're going good or bad.
