amount faster flat ground throws
What was faster was the amount of throws he made on flat ground and how much better he felt.
approach couple games manage meetings nice spend time weeks
It would be nice to have them here because the first couple weeks of games we spend a lot of time going over how we approach things. We have meetings every day, and they won't be here for them. But we'll manage and adjust. We have no choice.
fair great jim work
That was a big part of it. With Jim Hendry, he's always been very fair with me. He's a great person to work for. He's going to get it done.
ball couple delivery hand head loads mark released trying
A little more trying to keep his hand away from his head when he loads the ball up on his delivery to the plate. When you look at Mark the first couple years here, you look at the way he released the ball at the end of his delivery and it was pretty easy. You didn't see a lot of effort.
given keeps ready round second
The second round is important for us to get him ready and that he keeps progressing. I have nothing to say about it, but I would like him to get a start. Some consideration has to be given to that. If not, then we have to reconsider what's going on. After the first round I need to find out what's going on with him.
good point since
Since he's come back, he's been pretty good and it's progressed to the point where he doesn't feel it at all.
dave great respect successful surprised team
I have a lot of respect for Jim. He's a great manager. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was very successful there to team up with Dave again.
cubs importance point spent time
Obviously, I think at some point an organization has to look at the importance of stability. I don't think Cubs have ever really spent time doing that. There's always been a big turnover in personalities.
arm continuing days exercise fairly goes guys lose middle program rehab sure throw
We won't let him go days without throwing. It's important for him not to lose ground. I don't like guys in the middle of an arm rehab not be able to throw if they're healthy, because I think it can set him back. We'll make sure to exercise the arm while he strengthens the knee. If it all goes well, he should be long tossing and continuing the program fairly quickly.
arm attention best build came doctors freak injury mechanics pay program strength stress throwing trying
We've been working on some of the things mechanically and, obviously, I'll pay attention to what the doctors say and try to build arm strength the best we can without getting him hurt. It's kind of a freak injury for a pitcher. You never know where it comes from. We've been trying to stress mechanics even back to when he started his throwing program before this came up. We'll keep stressing it.
build less maintain rather run shoulder starts throwing work
As we go into more throwing, I'd rather see him do less where they can maintain but not try to build up. I think that's where you run into some problems. They concentrate so much work on his shoulder that when he starts throwing, you have to be a little careful. Throwing is what counts, not how many reps you can do with weights.
felt finish obligation tough turn
There was contact, obviously. It was tough to turn down, honestly. But I felt an obligation to finish what we started.
basically discomfort process slower
It's a little slower process there because you've got to get that inflammation out of there. There's still a little discomfort there. It's considerably better, which is basically what we expected.
hopefully rotation time works
It may be one time around the rotation that he's set back, but hopefully that's the way it works out.
