nice
He has done a nice job. He's been impressive.
command felt
He was on the attack, he had command of his pitches. He felt good.
hyped tough
He was really hyped up. He never got in a groove. He was overthrowing and he couldn't make the adjustment. It's the first day and it's tough on the young kids.
good moving pitches
He was moving his pitches in and out. He had a good split.
middle pitches
He was making pitches over the corners, not over the middle of the plate.
chances
He wanted to go back out. We didn't want to take any chances with him.
bad jason pitch
(He) didn't even really make a bad pitch to Jason Bay.
dull felt good pain pull scar strange tissue
He didn't pull anything. It just felt strange to him. It was not a knifelike pain, just a dull ache. He has some scar tissue back there, and it could be he popped some of that, which would be a good thing.
early ended hit home last runs usual year
He didn't hit a lot of home runs early last year (four through May), either, and he still ended up with his usual 25 to 30 (25).
credit good
He didn't have his good stuff. I give him credit because he was out there competing, but he just wasn't sharp.
hitters talking third trouble
He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us.
anymore goes hurt hurts seconds
He can't hurt it anymore than it already is. When it does hurt, it hurts for about 5 seconds and goes away.
game great
He (Davis) pitched a great game for us.
player type types veteran
He (Cirillo) is a veteran type player who is comfortable in those types of situations.
