decision discuss ownership thoughts tough
I can't go there right now but I think it would be tough for him to come back in an Oriole uniform, ... But that would be something to at least discuss with ownership and see what their thoughts are. For us to make that decision now, I don't think we need to.
dressing felt rest
He won't be dressing for the rest of the year. We felt it wouldn't be appropriate for the organization.
time tough
I know this is a very tough time for him to go through,
ahead curve opponents stay
I know that our opponents probably aren't going to. We have to stay ahead of the curve there.
chance season
If he comes back and is healthy, you try to give him a chance to go out this season healthy,
chance familiar gives gone good helpful interview obviously opportunity somewhat talk
I'm very interested, and obviously I get a good chance to get familiar with what's gone on here, so it's helpful for me. It also gives him an opportunity to see me and talk to me and somewhat interview me as well.
confidence enjoy needs work
Get him back there, be a little more successful, enjoy it again, get his confidence back up, work on the things he needs to work on, then we'll see where we go from there.
arm couple extremely handled last players reliable seen stuff tim toughest understand
You understand when players can't play, ... And that's the toughest thing. That's not the Tim Byrdak we've seen in the past. He's been a very reliable arm in our bullpen. I think he handled it extremely well. We've seen the crispness of his stuff and when his arm has been tired, like it has been for the last couple days, you don't see it.
