breaking throwing time
He started throwing some breaking balls. We'll probably go at least one more time with what we're doing.
balls basically motion pressure putting stood threw
He stood up and threw without putting a lot of pressure on the knee. Just basically tossing 90 balls to keep the motion and looseness through the shoulder.
building overboard pitches stamina strength throwing tiring
He's throwing fine. It's just building up strength and stamina and his pitches and tiring him out without going overboard with it, and we'll keep progressing from what we did today.
determined rehab schedules setbacks
I don't put schedules on rehab. That will be determined as we go. He's where he should be in a rehab from the surgery. No setbacks or anything. As long as we can keep progressing, that's what we are after.
pulls spot though
If he pulls something, even though it's not the spot where we're concentrating on, it could set him back too far. We probably did the right thing.
allow arm effort instead maximum obviously putting rehab rushing throwing whenever
He's where he should be in a rehab. He's throwing at the maximum effort that his arm will allow him. If we can keep him on the rehab schedule, whenever he's able to come back, he'll be back the way he should be -- instead of rushing it and putting timetables on it, which obviously you don't do.
arm ball balls breaking building built gets pitches spin strength threw today until worry
He threw some breaking balls today -- we're really concentrating more on building arm strength. We'll spin the ball some, but I don't really worry about the breaking ball as much as some other pitches until the arm strength gets built up. Those things will come back.
again balance hill mound slope threw toward
He threw off the mound toward the end, really just to get him up on the hill and get used to the slope again and get his balance and things like that right.
close normal routine threw
He threw all his pitches, and it was as close to a normal routine as I have seen.
amazing bunch flat mound pitches threw
He threw about 12 pitches off the mound and a bunch off flat ground. It's pretty amazing to watch.
career certain games good height return talked year
He's not at the height of his career but there's still a lot of good games for him to pitch. We talked at the end of the year about certain things he could do to return to what he's done in the past.
ability ball chance concentration excellent high level shows strikes throw time
He shows us the ability to throw strikes any time in the count. He has a high level of concentration on every pitch, and that's something we like. Because of his experience, he has an excellent chance to be in the rotation. The ball is really in his court.
dealing everybody figure knows means wait
I'm going to wait and see what we're dealing with first and try to figure out what we have to do and go from there. Everybody knows what he means to the team. We'll have to wait and see.
careful chunks cost figured mind setbacks shoulders start term trying
In my mind I figured we weren't going to start the season. I thought that all winter. Shoulders are a little different and you'd better be careful with it. Because setbacks can be long term and cost you long chunks of times. That's what we are trying to avoid.
