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.
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.
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.
arm behind both force good known means middle naturally pushing saw speed throwing walked
I think today, what I saw was that if I would've walked out there in the middle of their throwing and not known they both had had surgery, I don't know if I could've told that. That's a good sign. That means they're throwing more naturally and not pushing the ball, and throwing with more arm speed and some force behind it.
forth mind
I went back and forth in my mind a lot,
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.
aware channel concentration games gotten hitters impact lose microscope stays winning
He's gotten better. He's more aware of it and the impact it has, especially being under the microscope at this level. I don't want him to lose the energy, just channel it enough that the concentration stays on getting hitters out and winning games and that's the end of it.
coming guys hit location velocity
His velocity and location are so good, ... he's one of those guys where you can know what's coming and you still won't hit it.
allow arm effort maximum throwing
He's doing what he should be doing. He's throwing with maximum effort that his arm will allow him to right now.
bit goes
He has done well, other than a little bit when he goes over his head. That's pretty normal.
command consistent strong
Greg has had a strong spring. His command is obvious. When he's got his command, he's tough. He's more consistent with it than most.
answer ask easy follow great helped situation straight talk
He helped so much with the young guys. He was just easy to talk to and would give you a straight answer and follow up on everything you would ever ask of him. It was a great situation with him here.
built bullpen innings limiting needs progress putting retard work
He is going to be built up as a starter. With the rehab, he needs to be built up that way. You can't retard the progress by putting him in the bullpen and limiting the innings and pitches. He is going to need to get the work as a starter.
