He threw a ton of pitches. He threw a lot of near strikes, and he wasn't sharp. We thought that was the time to get him out of there. |
He threw the ball pretty good. He was better the second inning than the first. The important thing was, he was on the mound. I thought he did pretty good. |
He throws strikes, he's not afraid. He doesn't pitch away from the bat. He knows how to pitch. He has three good pitches. He's still trying to get a feel of his breaking ball some. He's been impressive. It's the first time I've seen him and I like what I see. |
He very well could be. Everybody heals differently, everybody progresses differently. The dates are a preliminary thing you shoot for. As long as he's not feeling any discomfort or soreness from throwing, we're very satisfied. |
He wanted the victory and knew we needed it. His fastball was moving. |
He wanted to play. He didn't want to be out too long because then you lose your stroke. |
He was feeling kind of tired all day. He's pitched a lot of innings. |
He was given the OK from upstairs. What are you going to do when he's given the OK from upstairs? |
He was going to third, but the runner had beaten him because the ball was high. He decided to throw to first, but it was too late. |
He was more aggressive, he was in the strike zone. He worked quickly, which allowed the players to stay alert on defense. His body language and demeanor was a lot better, which he promised me it would be after our discussion. You like to see a young man do what he says, because talk is cheap. He said what he is going to do and he did it. |
He was ok. They all say they're ok (after getting hit). |
He wasn't all black. It was black and white, so it doesn't mean nothing. |
He went that long on a team that's not playing well without being re-signed. I'm sure it came through his mind. Whenever anybody gets fired, it's tough. |
He will hit a home run, ... That will be 704. |
He'll get it; he'll learn. But I'd rather have that fire than I would a guy that you have to light his pilot light to get fire. You don't want to put that fire out. But instead of a raging fire, you want him to channel it like a torch. |
