game gave given pitching result saw
We saw the result of him not pitching in a game for 14 days. Even given that, he gave up only two hits.
charge hit saw slow
That was not hit hard, but it was no slow roller. I saw him charge and he made it look easy.
caught indecisive land saw talked
I think he was a little indecisive once he saw the ball. We have talked to him. He just got caught out in no-man's land and couldn't get back.
hopefully liked lose saw spring training
We liked what we saw of him in spring training and hopefully we don't lose him. But he wasn't getting the at-bats here and there wasn't the (likelihood) for him to get at-bats.
discussion happened limiting saw
There was no discussion of limiting his innings. And you saw what happened to him.
behind game hits hitters pitching result saw threw
I think we saw the result of not pitching in a game. Even at that, they only got two hits off him. But he was behind a lot of hitters and threw a lot of pitches.
against games past saw seattle ton
I saw a stat that said Guerrero has 14 homers against Seattle in 34 games the past two years. That's a ton of homers against one club.
caught glad hit sure
We weren't sure if he caught it just before he hit or as he hit. After he hit the ground, we were glad to see him get back up.
hold might throw
We might hold him back and just have him throw on the side. But we're not there yet.
ball hit last
We hit the ball pretty decently today, but right at people. Just like last night.
hours medical people recover slept
We think he slept on it wrong, and sometimes that can take hours to recover from. At least that's what our medical people told me. Anyway, he's fine.
ball calls difficult hard learn pitches pleased receives worked
I've been very, very pleased with how he receives the ball and how he calls a game, the pitches he's called. It's difficult to learn the pitchers, but he's worked hard at it.
absolutely anybody expected forward starts thrown watching
The way he's thrown and the starts that he's had have been absolutely outstanding. He has been better than we really expected him to be. Like anybody else, when he's on the mound, I look forward to watching him pitch.
eddie pitches spring threw
Eddie threw more pitches in that inning than he did all spring training.
