He doesn't fool around out there, does he? He gets the ball and throws it. This guy learned how to put different pressure points on the ball to make the ball move. This guy is the best I've ever seen. |
He doesn't have to show more. I like what he's shown already. He has to show more of the same. |
He doesn't say it, but it's on our minds. The thing is he wants to pitch as many innings as he can to win. |
He expects the ball to be hit back to him and he gets in good position. He reminds me of a guy I used to play with, Fernando Valenzuela . They expect the ball to be hit back at them and they practice it. Perfect practice makes perfect results. |
He got beat up pretty good today. They hit some balls hard. He was around the plate, throwing strikes. I just hope he's all right. |
He had good stuff. |
He had his control today and was changing speed. He didn't throw a lot of balls in the same location and used various speeds. |
He hadn't had anything to this point. We'll keep our fingers crossed. |
He hadn't had anything up to this point. |
He handled [the news] well. It beats the alternative, too. It's a matter of him staying prepared and being prepared. |
He has a very consistent personality. Some guys, you can walk into the clubhouse and tell who's hot and who's not by whether they're grumpy or not. |
He has been knocking on 99 for a while and never had 100. He was knocking on it last year and got cold at the end. |
He hasn't been quite Michael since spring training. We wanted him to go get his arm strength back. We are going to need him before the year is over. |
He hasn't forgotten how to steal. |
He is making progress. He hit on the field so that's a big improvement right there, so will keep our fingers crossed. |
