few
We'll see where he is in a few days.
batting next practice throwing time
We'll know more when he's not just throwing batting practice the next time out.
ease four gets hardly hit last line maybe mind missed remember spring starts three until
You'd like to see him get three or four starts down here. You have to remember after he hardly pitched last spring he only missed one start until hit by the line drive. Maybe he's just not a spring-training guy. It'll ease everybody's mind once he gets into action.
forward pushing schedule
We are right on schedule as long as we can keep pushing forward and have no setbacks.
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.
both
They're both doing fine. They just want to get going and get back in games. They know what they're here for and what they need to do.
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.
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.
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.
chance extensive feels friday good might mound program throwing venture
I think we're going to a pretty extensive throwing program Friday and see how he reacts on Saturday, and go from there. There's a good chance he'll get on the mound Sunday, but if he feels real good, we might venture that on Friday. But we'll see.
amount fast flat ground threw
I think what was fast was the amount he threw off flat ground and how much better he felt.
best few involved sway talked worry
I talked to a few of them. They didn't want to get involved and try to sway my decision. What they've said is they wanted me to do what was best for me and not to worry about anything else.
