case couple haunt innings last
I don't know what to say. When you don't get innings out of your rotation, it's always going to come back to haunt you. That's been the case the last couple of days.
couple determined safer
I just kind of determined it was safer to give him a couple more starts.
bothered couple elbow sore tells weeks wish
He tells us he's been bothered by this sore elbow for a couple of weeks. I wish he'd told us a couple of weeks ago.
couple defensive games good mainly playing time
He'll play a couple of games at short, but mainly he'll play second. He'll get a lot of playing time there. We want to see what he can do offensively, we already know he's a good defensive player.
couple start woody
That was to cinch Woody up for a start in a couple of days.
against bullpen couple faced good last mix san
He pitched really good against us the couple of times we faced San Diego, so he's in the mix for that last couple of bullpen spots.
anybody best goes healthy help hurt lack means might needs next rest season sure winter
In his case, because of the lack of innings, I think it might help him. I don't think it will hurt him. If anybody needs winter ball, it would be him. We want to make sure he's healthy going into the season next year, too, so if that means rest after he goes through all this rehab, that could be the best way to go, too.
games knew
I knew it was over 100 games. We'd get close, but not over the hump.
learning
I like his stuff, but he's still learning how to pitch.
best biggest condition full paranoid pitch possible starting
I'm real paranoid about starting him now and without him being in the best possible condition to pitch a full season. That's my biggest concern. I don't know if he understands that or not.
lower
It's stiffness in his lower back, no big deal.
proper
No, and I don't want to again, either. I really don't think that's the proper thing to do.
good since start third
It was his third start and it wasn't very good today. But for the most part, since we got him back he's been pretty good.
again needed
Once again Scotty pitched well. We just couldn't get a big out when we needed it. We are just going through one of those spells.
