I saw him hit 10 home runs in 40 at bats one spring training. If he's in spring training mode, watch out.

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.
We have no scheduled day off for him tomorrow.
acquired capable control pitching team walk
We have no control on what's going to happen. He could be acquired by another team or he could just walk away from us. That would be a setback for us, because we know he is capable of pitching well, and he could end up doing it for someone else.
depended open
The possibility was open for him to be here during the game. It all depended on something he had to do.
five games losing loss months spent
We spent five months losing series. That's what has us five games back - not the loss tonight.

With time, we look to him to be a No. 1-type guy. If he's healthy, there's no question he's in the rotation. He won't be overwhelmed by an opening day start at home. That's why it was important for him to get his feet wet last year.
game hit intensity leadership life
Wow, he was good. The leadership there on the hill, the intensity ... we didn't hit much, but there was a lot of life in this game because of him.
games good guy relationship saving tyler walker
We know he's out there, We have a guy ( Tyler Walker ) now saving games who has a good relationship with the fans.
last pitchers starting trap year
We want starting pitchers to be able to pitch (in the spring), even if they're going to give up runs. We want to get away from the trap we were in last year with a lot of three- and four-inning starts.
