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.

It's an outpatient procedure. You've got to believe it's not all that drastic. Hopefully, it's quick and not much and he bounces back quickly.
four job mind took winning
I took the job four years ago with winning in mind, and we haven't accomplished that.
loose
It wasn't getting loose so we weren't going to try it.
both dave days five forth obligation relationship series six talking tough won
It was a very tough decision. Probably for about five or six days I went back and forth a lot, talking to people. With Dave Dombrowski and Jim, we won a World Series and I had a relationship with both of them. That made it tough, but in the end my obligation was more important.
ballpark days family majority matter months obligation spent spring talking time training truth weighed
The two months that I'm in Spring Training is tough. The family obligation weighed heavily. We spent a lot of time talking about that. The truth of the matter is during spring, I'm at the ballpark the majority of days for 12, 15 hours. I wouldn't get a whole lot of time with them.

It's been good to see where he is. Even with the 13 days off, he didn't lose a whole lot, and he might have actually gained some. ... The ball is coming out with some force. We can progress him as his daily work allows.

arm gone middle plan throwing
The only plan is to keep his arm in shape, because he's gone a long way to get it to where it is and we don't want to go backwards. In the middle of a rehab, it's important to keep throwing and keep the looseness in there.
building strength
We're just now building up his strength and stamina. I don't use timetables. It's impossible.
attentive knows repeated woody
Woody knows what I'm going to say to him before I do. It's been repeated enough and he's attentive enough.
accelerate gets until
When he gets to hitters, we can probably accelerate it pretty well. Until we get to that point, I don't want to accelerate it too much.
