couple start woody
That was to cinch Woody up for a start in a couple of days.
four starts
We want to get him four starts before the end of the year.
chance might next start
There is a chance that he might make his next start up here, but we don't know that yet.
cautious hoping starters
We're hoping our starters give us more innings. All indications are they will. We want to be cautious with our bullpen.
mind negative record run start support thoughts
A lot of negative thoughts go through your mind when you start off like he did, without getting any run support and your record isn't what you want it to be,
ball pitchers starters throw
I think it should be a lot better. It is going to need to be better because we're going to have some pitchers who are going to be able to throw strikes. Our starters will put the ball in play. It has got to be better.
dropping few pounds starting ways
He's dropping a few pounds and starting to look better. He's got a ways to go.
arm asked conditions fifth gotten last quicker remember showing spring starter stuff tells time year
His stuff has gotten better each time out. What that tells me is his arm is quicker than it has been. Last year at the end and in Spring Training, he wasn't showing the quick arm that I remember seeing. He has done everything we asked him to do and that's really what the conditions were. We need a fifth starter and he's going to be that guy.
games great runs scoring start win
He was great the way he got out of it that inning. He's going to win a lot of games for us. We've just got to start scoring some runs for him.
fifth start
I really wanted keep Gobble out there for the fifth but this was his first start and we wanted to keep him at about 60 pitches.
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.
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.
seen unusual
I've seen Elmer a lot and that's not unusual for him.
flow game guy
It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.
