looks physically pitch seems seen stronger throwing
I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.
arm best fast quick saw seen throwing
That's the best thing I saw from Schmidt. If your arm is not right, you're not going to be quick to the plate. That's as fast as I've ever seen him do it. And he pitched well, throwing only fastballs and change-ups.
ball charged coming guy hard lose signed throwing time
We're going to take our time with him. It's really hard to lose Noah, a young guy who was really coming up big. He just signed a long-term contract. He was really charged up and throwing the ball well.
barry guy pitch throwing
They pitched to Barry with a guy throwing 98, 97 mph. ...If that guy doesn't pitch to him, who will?
ball blow hoping sweet throwing
That was a blow there. He was really throwing the ball well, and I'm hoping it's not long term. Otherwise, it was a sweet day.
ball breaking hard improving throwing
He's going to be a late-inning pitcher, a closer-type guy. He's been throwing the ball hard and improving his breaking ball.
believe eight guy hard innings start throwing tons
He made tons of big pitches. It is hard to believe that a guy making his first start would be so sharp. You do not find a guy throwing eight innings on his first start.
ball bring counting save throwing
I'm counting on him. He understands. He's not throwing the ball well. He better (be ready) because I'm going to bring him in to save the game.
several throwing
He's throwing harder. His first several fastballs had a lot of life.
field home left ready run
We just want to get him ready on defense. To see him play left field now was more important than the home run he hit.
days effect games playing pushing
We were pushing him to get off to a start. He was fresh. Now the effect of playing all those games showed up two days ago.
seen
I've seen it happen. You think you're going to get better, and you get worse.
watching worse
It would've been worse if I was watching the game, but I didn't see any of it.
changed deal dealing easy man since
It was very hard, but it was easy because when you deal with a man like that, everything is easy. I've been dealing with him since he was 22. He hasn't changed as a person.
