He couldn't really get anything going but he'll bounce back. |
He did a good job, he threw strikes. |
He did his running and felt good, felt better. If he keeps progressing, we'll see where he's at. I know we have to make a decision on that tournament. We'll have to see. |
He does all the things successful lefties do, |
He finds his groove -- finds his rhythm a little bit. Naturally, when a guy's struggling, he starts pressing. He's probably coming out of the gates trying a little too hard. Sometimes the harder you try, the tougher it gets. |
He goes through spurts where he'll pitch like that, and then he'll just overthrow and he can't find the strike zone. Nobody knows why, but when he's on, he's awful tough. |
He goes through streaks every year, good streaks offensively and defensively. He was very diligent during Spring Training. He's got a great swing path working right now, and just happens to be swinging the bat real well. |
He got the number of pitches he needed. He didn't look bad. That one inning, he was scattering a little bit. Other than that, he pitched okay. |
He had great stuff. He went out there a few times and pitched very good for us. He may have had a tender elbow at times. To be honest with you, it doesn't surprise me. We knew he could pitch. |
He had his 'A' game going. He can do that to you when he is on. |
He has been struggling and he needs to get his confidence back. This is just a short-term thing and it's circumstances more than anything right now. But he needs to get back in a groove. |
He has been taking some good swings. That's what we got him for. He's intimidating when he steps in there. |
He has done a great job. Nobody's going to be 100 percent. |
He has got a second wind I guess, ... He takes good care of himself and he's a strong guy. When it gets late in the game and he starts chalking up pitches, he doesn't really lose a whole lot. |
