according bit bothered club coach francisco general good jeff join last manager mike pitch point ready rich rob san start sunday talked thinks trainer
I just talked to Rob and he said it bothered him a little bit in the start in San Francisco and then in his last start in New York. At that point he talked to (pitching coach Rich Dubee) about it. (Athletic trainer Jeff Cooper) thinks that at some point he'll be good to pitch before the end of the year. But he won't be ready for Sunday.

based became criticism decision easier fact lightning move obviously order perception performance public rod role talk
I think public perception is a big part when you talk about selling. In order to move things forward, if the decision was based on the performance of the club, obviously not getting into the postseason is a big role in that, but I also think the fact that I became a lightning rod for criticism for the organization, with me out of the picture, it makes things easier from that respect.
