along assume mike pitch ready rotation talked
I said all along that if he was not going to be ready to assume his rightful place in the rotation than we wouldn't pitch him, and that's what we decided. I talked with Mike and his family, and everybody's in agreement.
came eight frustrated games last pitching quality starting
It came down to starting pitching and we didn't get any and we didn't make the plays. I'm as frustrated as I've even been with the starting pitching. We have had one quality start in the last eight games and that will not get it done.
bulk growing weight
He's got some growing to do, I hope. He's kind of got a rangy body; we need some bulk on it. We've got to get some weight on him. That's going to be a big thing, for him to get a little stronger.
barry start throws
Patrick throws strikes, and that's what you want in that role. Barry will start there for now.
deserved happy super
He had a super year. I'm very happy he got drafted. He deserved it.
played
He's played well. We'll have to see how it goes.
allow arm believe bring extra fair felt few fully gain half needed pitch season seasons strength time weeks
He is still a few weeks away from being able to pitch effectively. We felt that he needed to take the extra time and fully allow his arm to gain strength before he pitched. I also believe it wasn't fair to him to bring him back for half a season when he can come back and pitch two full seasons at full strength.
good league means sixth
He doesn't like it, and I don't like it, but he's had to be a different kind of pitcher. He's sixth in the league in strikeouts looking, which means he still has good stuff, he's just had to adjust. He'll get better.
best closer field fought good left
He made a good pitch. Coghlan fought it off and got it into left field and that was the game. We had an opportunity. We had our closer in there, who is one of the best there is, and didn't get it done.
ball cliff coming command finishing game good great hard hit looked past played proud series team today ways worked
Cliff really pitched a great game today. He has looked like the old Cliff the past two weeks. He has really worked hard and has good command on the mound. We hit the ball well today and I am proud of the team for coming out and finishing the series with the win. We still have a ways to go but we played well this weekend.
cliff limit pitches ready
Cliff is ready to go. We'll limit his pitches to 85 or 90.
ball breaking
His breaking ball is working and his arm's not hurting.
baseball ends frustrated pitching starts
I'm as frustrated as I've ever been in coaching. Baseball starts with pitching and ends with pitching, and we didn't get any.
happy wrong
If you ever don't see him smiling, something's wrong because the guy's happy every day of his life.
