days few worried
I'm not worried they aren't getting enough at-bats. But we'll give them a few days working with Rudy before we put them back in a game.
days eighteen hate innings pitching staff survive
As a team, you just try to survive them because you hate what it does to your pitching staff a lot of times. Eighteen innings in a day with no off days around it are tough.
club count days elbow few josh reported until velocity wrong
His velocity was down yesterday, but he didn't tell us anything was wrong until this morning, when he reported elbow soreness. Don't count Josh out yet. Hopefully, in a few days he'll be back with the club and this will all be over.
clear couple days today tomorrow
He can use a couple of days -- today and tomorrow -- to clear his head.
couple days gone hit quite time
He only got hit a couple of days ago and it's going to take time to look at things. There was a lot of swelling, but it has gone down quite a bit. There's still time.
behind hopefully last piece putting
In a lot of our minds, hopefully this is the last piece of putting it behind us.
good knew mark selfish
It's something that Mark embraced. He wanted to be the best. It wasn't for selfish reasons, but he knew we were going to need him to be a good first baseman.
feeding frenzy mound negative positive side spring throw
It's Spring Training. I know how that goes, ... First, you throw on the side and you get a positive or negative feeding frenzy. Then you throw off the mound and get a positive or negative feeding frenzy ... and when you're done, you throw all of it out the window. It's not just Chan Ho. It's everybody.
continue
It's something we have been and will continue to monitor.
good step wants
It's something he wants to do, and we think it will be another good step for him.
good healthy news throwing
It's not good news to see Soriano and Putz healthy and throwing well.
decide finished goes periods product tough
It's not a finished product but he goes through periods where it's pretty good. We've got to decide if it's there yet. That's a pretty tough call.
balls hit
They hit a lot of balls that snuck through.
capable continuing extend four good help nights pitching three
It was just not his night. Three out of four nights ... I'm not going to extend him there. He wasn't pitching as good as he's capable of. He's scuffling. There's no sense in him continuing to scuffle if I can help it.
