He did not complain about it. He did not make an excuse. But he did not look in his last start like he did in his first two. |
He did OK against right-handers. One of the disappointing things this spring was what he did against right-handers. A big part of that was (he wasn't) throwing strikes. |
He did really well. He would have made our club Opening Day if he hadn't had any foot trouble. |
He did really well. With Griffey being day to day, it gives us an extra outfielder. |
He didn't ask errant questions. He asked intelligent questions. |
He didn't complain. I think he's played every position but pitcher. He even caught a game. |
He didn't have the feel for his pitches, and he's a feel guy. He was up in the zone. |
He does not look like a 19-year-old kid out there, does he? It's nice to see. |
He dogged me forever after that first game. I'm telling you, the last time I saw him, he said, 'I'm thankful somebody as dumb as me was behind the plate his first night. |
He gave us seven outstanding innings. |
He gives us tremendous insurance at first if Dunn can't play or there is a trade made or somebody gets injured. The thing that we've got right now _ we've got quite a few veteran guys for our bench, which has a lot of plusses. |

He got a lot of outs early in the count. It looked like he had pretty good movement. His slider or cutter was moving away from our right-handers. |
He got a lot of outs early in the count. It looked like he had pretty good movement. His slider or cutter was moving away from our right-handers. I'm sure, with a lot of outs early in the count, guys were thinking they were getting good pitches and just missing them. |
He got some pitches up which hurt him. He made some good pitches too. We didn't execute a rundown on defense and that hurt him. But he threw 75 pitches and he only threw 65 in his last start. We'll continue to stretch him out. |
