You can't deal with it until we're closer and see where everything is at. First, they have to check him out tomorrow and see if it's healed. That's the first order of business.
almost buck deal guys heart locked march mph notorious people pitchers sees spring throwing until
If Buck sees him throwing 84 mph on March 6, he's going to have a heart attack. It's an issue, but people have to deal with it. There are going to be pitchers who are notorious for not getting going until right at the end of spring training. Guys aren't going to be locked and loaded; that's almost a guarantee.

I'm sure hoping it's not going to be like that all year. That would be a tough thing to have to deal with. That's why you take precautions now in Spring Training, so once you start season everyone is healthy.

bit less muscle people percent pulls season shoulder sore starting sudden talking types
To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out.

Torii's been very close to Puck. He was in no state to go out for a ballgame. I told him to sit back, take it easy and we'll take care of that game.

We had a chance to put a dagger in them and take it to them. The guy is throwing the ball all over the place. We didn't get it done.
double forth guys home keeping mental plate throw trying
Trying to throw out guys at home plate when we should be keeping the double play, ... It's the mental part of the game, and that's where we have to toughen up again. We're going to put forth a big effort.
worried
Those two guys, I'm not really worried about. They're pretty professional about what they do.
