Both have very similar stuff, stuff that can beat you down on any given day. But you don't want guys with very similar stuff pitching on back-to-back days.

Both guys are going to catch in situations and games that make the most sense for them and the club.

Both are very competent kids and are smart enough to know what we're talking about. They'll figure it out.
both choices days decision few great guys hope next passed position problem summarize
To summarize for you, both guys passed (Saturday). It doesn't make any decision over the next few days any easier. But that's what you hope for. When you're in a position where you have to make choices like this, they're not easy. It's a great problem to have.
both competent either figure guys kids sit smart talking time understand
We have two kids there. Both are very competent kids -- smart enough to understand what we're talking about -- and they will figure it out. We've got to find opportunities for both of them. We'll take it a day at a time and go from there. As I've said all along, with these two guys on the club, I don't want to see either one of them sit for too long a time and not participate. It's advantageous to both of them to do it that way.
both command fastball forward good saw sides step tonight
Tonight was, in my opinion, dramatically better than what we saw in Florida. In Florida, he battled, but his fastball command was erratic. Tonight, it was crisp, it was good to both sides of the plate. It's a big step forward for him.
both plays point run
Both plays were close. It was a run we didn't get and a run they did get. But you don't point fingers.
both decision easy hoping passed today tough
Both passed the test. That's good. We don't have to make a decision today and the decision we do make won't be an easy one. That's what you're always hoping for, tough decisions.
both guys
As I've said, both guys are going to catch.

I thought they both did a great job. I thought they both did exactly what you wanted to see. ... Both guys passed today.
both create moving opportunity sides
I don't need to say anything more. I think that both sides are moving on from something like that. You don't use things like that as an opportunity to create a rift between two clubs.
