everybody hope pitches rotation turn upside
This rotation could turn upside down at some point. I just hope everybody pitches well.
ballpark bit few gets hearts maybe pitches settled spring stadium stuff threw throwing time training
He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.
adds balls care people pitches understand
I don't really care a lot about errors. It is the range, the balls you should get to. If you don't, it adds pitches to the pitcher's pitch count. It adds runners. It is so disruptive. A lot of people don't understand that.
concerned hits loses needs pitch pitches stamina work
I'm just concerned about his stamina and durability. He needs to work on getting up his pitch count. He hits 50 pitches and just kind of loses it.
figure fix
We've just got to try to fix it, man. We just have to figure this out.
forget good
We've just got to forget about that and play as good as we can, as long as we can.
chance might next start
There is a chance that he might make his next start up here, but we don't know that yet.
although figure next pitch trying wants
We're trying to figure out what we're going to do next with Bautista. I still don't think he's going to pitch for us this year, although he wants to.
preparing quite ready time worst
We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation. We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will.
four starts
We want to get him four starts before the end of the year.
early honest pitching
To be honest with you, the way Westbrook was pitching and the at-bats we were getting early on, I thought we had no chance.
everybody games good knew looks lose sure
Everybody was sure we would do it, but I knew better. There was no way we would lose 100 games two years in a row! 63-99 looks real good right now!
bullpen good guys three
The good thing about our bullpen is our three guys can all close, with no problem.
extension signed time
We should have signed him to that extension a long time ago,
