fun hard pitching supposed takes throwing work
He was fun to catch; he was pitching more than just throwing the ball, ... It really takes a lot to want to come back. When you want to come back, you work hard and do the things you're supposed to do to come back. It takes a lot.

He just laid into me. Actually, we just collided. It was pretty ugly. It was either through me or around me. He decided to try to go through me.

He has the best arm in camp, no doubt about it. Better than all these guys. I don't care how old he is. He's unbelievable. It's effortless the way the ball comes out of his hand at 95-96. He's that impressive. He's the best prospect we've got. It's fun to see.

He gives me a lot to work with. He does everything possible to keep them off balance. He obviously works both sides of the plate. His location is unbelievable -- when I want the ball up or the ball down, he hits my mitt pretty much consistent. And that's why he's doing what he's doing.

We play baseball. That's the only thing we know how to do.

We pretty much tried everything. We were wild today, guys coming in from the pen. Those guys have a very good lineup and they understand the strike zone. If you only have one pitch, they're going to attack that pitch.
