He gathered himself and went out there and pitched pretty well. Once you give up five, if they peck away at all, it makes it tough to win. |
He gives us multiple innings in a tie game, and then with a one-run lead. You've got to have good stuff. But the amount of poise he showed, the way he competes. ... God, that's so big for us. |
He got himself in a predicament where he felt threatened and went on the offensive, but he paid the price and it's over. He got himself in a spot where he was uncomfortable and it happened. He served his suspension and it's over. |
He got Javy, who had really been tough on him. We got (his first outing) out of the way, which I think is necessary. |
He got stronger as he went deeper. |
He had a career night. I wish he had it against somebody else. He got three fastballs in the middle of the plate and got his arms extended on all three. That?s a good night, that?s a lot of damage. |
He had a good day. He went out and did some movement on the field. He did pretty well. Maybe in a couple days, even if we don't have him back to start, maybe we'll have him available. So he's doing OK. The trainers thought it was real good. He passed all his tests pretty well. |
He had a lot of things that nobody ever knew, ... He had a [sore] groin the last two weeks that was not feeling very good. |
He had one inning of 39 pitches and that was a big part of the ballgame. We couldn't stop them. He was mislocating some fastballs and his breaking ball didn't have the same bite, depth or deception of the other innings. |
He has a good arm. It gets easier as you get to know guys and get a feel. |
He has a way of bouncing back from things. When things don't look very good, and tonight they certainly didn't, we have a way of bouncing back as good as anybody. |
He has an explosive fastball, a hard breaking ball and we haven't figured him out very well yet. We are certainly going to have to because with them in our division, we are going to face him a number of times. I think he's 22 so he is probably not going to retire any time soon. |
He has been the ultimate utility player. He was in a situation where he got [limited] at-bats, and he struggled. |
He has played a great third base for us, probably better than he did last year. His knee is fairly good, so that's part of it. |
He has the ability to pitch one or two innings. He can throttle it up a little bit. Say he doesn't have a pitch working that day. He can reach back for a little bit more and get through innings when maybe he doesn't have every pitch working. But he competes well. He's learning how to sink the ball. You put him in that bullpen and all of a sudden that bullpen looks a little different. |
