It was a combination of us not swinging the bats and he was throwing it well.

They'll both be OK. Right now they're both going through the dead-arm period that they would normally go through in the spring.

It's nice to get out there and get back into the flow a little bit. Try not to think of the memories of last year. It's a new year, and we have a lot of work to do.
