He came into camp in great shape. He really looks good. |
He can barely walk again today. The trainers had to help him put on his pants. |
He can't hurt it anymore than it already is. When it does hurt, it hurts for about 5 seconds and goes away. |
He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us. |
He didn't have his good stuff. I give him credit because he was out there competing, but he just wasn't sharp. |
He didn't hit a lot of home runs early last year (four through May), either, and he still ended up with his usual 25 to 30 (25). |
He didn't pull anything. It just felt strange to him. It was not a knifelike pain, just a dull ache. |

He got a lot of groundball double plays and he stayed away from the guys that could possibly hurt him, ... He's seemed like he tries to get you to chase a little bit and tonight, he was locating real well. |

He got a pitch in on Carlos that Carlos hit out of the park, and Billy drove a pitch out over the plate, but other than that we couldn't muster much offense off him. |
He grew up in this atmosphere. So the expectations others had for him have never bothered him because they can't match those that he's had for himself for a long time. |
He had enough savvy to get through it. |
He had no problems whatsoever. |
He had pretty good stuff but he fell behind too much, ... But he made big pitches when he needed to and really limited the damage outside of the four-run inning. |
