He hasn't felt good since then. His average has taken a dip recently. I think we all know why. He hit that nail or bolt or whatever the hell [in Toronto]. Then he started throwing different [because of the stitches]. |
He hasn't felt good the whole year. It's been hard for him. |
He hit two lasers, and that's a good sign. |
He just needed to settle down and start hitting his spots a little bit. With a lot of good pitchers, if you don't get him early, maybe you miss your opportunity. |
He knows how to play the game. I saw him in Milwaukee and I've liked him for a long time. He's easy to like. |
He likes to compete. If he hollers at somebody once or twice a year, it's not really the end of the world. |
He looked strong. You always want to win, but we want him to get ready for the season. |
He looks great. I don't know about his hair. But it looks like he's in great shape. We'd heard he was in great shape, I didn't doubt that. |
He looks great. I don't know about the hair but he looks like he's in great shape. |
He managed it pretty well [Monday]. I don't think he's ready to run the 100-yard dash. But he did what he needed to do. |
He paid his price and now it's over. |
He ran the bases. He'll run the bases again today. He's getting a lot of hacks. |
He really buckled down and knew we needed innings. I think Wake just made some adjustments, even physically, and it really helped. |
He really buckled down and knew we needed innings. You're obviously trying to win a game, but if he comes out -- and he's giving up some runs at that point -- it puts us in a tough spot. |
He really had a tough time getting out over that front leg as he lengthened out his throwing. I think, after talking to David, and talking to the medical people, I think David felt like it was going to be hard for him to do the things he needs to do to be successful in the condition he's in right now. |
