difficult hands people problem
We thought it may be difficult for people to get their hands around a can of champagne, but it hasn't been a problem at all.
bare beyond body car entire floor helped inches john kept lower model repair replace restore stripped three
John had kept the car garaged most of the time, but as with most Model A's, the floor pans and lower three inches of the body were rusted beyond repair and had to be replaced. My brother, Mike, helped me to restore the car as well. He stripped the entire car to bare metal, and then I welded in 13 different body panels to replace the rotted areas. Being 75 years old, the car had many dings and dents that had to be straightened.
county taught
I taught previously down in Stanton County for a year.
clean inclined means people regardless road visit weather
Having this road means that our hearses will come in clean and people will be more inclined to visit regardless of weather conditions.
ahead command early further game last
He's a lot further ahead than he was last year. Sometimes you don't have the command you want early in the game, but he made the adjustment. As the game went on, he got pretty good.
excited gone totally
He's a totally different pitcher. That's why he can get excited about what's gone on this spring.
fifth question stuff
I don't think it's out of question that he could still be the fifth guy. It's going to go right down to the end. With his stuff and what he's done, you'd like to keep him there as a starter, but you never know.
biggest innings might seven stretched trying
If they go all the way to the finals, he might be stretched out to two innings while we are trying to stretch him to six, seven innings. That's the biggest concern.
fun throwing
I don't know who was out there for the first two innings. He wasn't fun to watch. Then he started throwing his fastball, and he got back to being Jo.
fill march open spots waiting
If spots open up after March 1, we'll fill from the waiting list.
few impressed looks pitches
He was crisp with all of his pitches and very sharp. I'm impressed with him; he looks like he did a few years ago.
concerns everybody plenty time velocity
He has some concerns of velocity being down, but he's not the only one -- everybody else will be the same thing. Once you're there you will have plenty of time to get yourself ready.
handle
He can handle that. We feel comfortable with him doing it.
best composed good impressive kept pitcher stuff threw
He pitched without his best stuff and threw some good pitches. What was impressive for a young pitcher was that he kept composed and threw pitches.
