came damage exactly help impact indication moving obvious ominous soon status week
There's no indication that there is any damage in there that would impact him moving forward. They're going to do some tests, and we'll get a better idea this week exactly what his status is. I think as soon as he came out, it was pretty ominous and pretty obvious that he wasn't going to be able to help us in this series.
came facing game good
We were facing a real potpourri of pitchers, ... Everyone who came in the game made good pitches. All of those guys, they've got some good young arms. Woodyard had good stuff. Fortunately, we got to them late.
came opening start
It was special. It was his first start and it was my first Opening Day. But the circumstances of how it came about, him being 20 and me being 22, made it all the more incredible.

There's been no indication that there is any damage in there that would impact him moving forward. But they're going to do some tests and we'll get a better idea this week exactly what his status is.

I think we were all surprised at the level he came into camp at compared to where he was when we saw him in October. There was a tremendous amount of work that was needed, and he did it. He's in the shape he needs to be in.
came command counts deep terrific velocity
His velocity was good, his command was not as crisp as it has been. In the deep counts he ran, he came back and made some terrific pitches. When he had to make a pitch, he did.

Our bullpen came through. Kelvim shined the whole night. Kelvim made some big pitches and gave us a big lift.
came counts early erratic
He was a little erratic early with his cutter. He got in some hitter's counts but he came back to get some big outs.
against arms bullpen came colors confident deep flying game pitch point
He didn't really pitch deep into the game against the Yankees. He's done it before this year, and he came out in flying colors so we're confident he's going to get to a point in his game where we have some of the arms in the bullpen we're going to get to.
came early nice pressure zone
He came out and got in a zone early and got in a nice groove. We just couldn't pressure him enough early on to make a difference.
came early found great pitches release work zone
He came in and got in the zone early and got in a groove. He made some pitches when he had to. I think we made him work for it. He found his release point. He's got great stuff.
against arm beat good match pitch pitching
We feel we have a good young arm going against those guys, and the only way you're going to beat pitching is to match them pitch for pitch.
certainly guys hit pitches pressure scoring
We certainly set the table, but we couldn't get that hit with guys in scoring position. (Rodrigo Lopez) made some pitches to put some guys away that were on the money, and we just couldn't put pressure on him. We just couldn't get that one hit to kind of get things going.
carried difference himself pitchers
The way he carried himself on the field, the little things he did made a difference in what his pitchers could do. He was terrific.
