ahead cleaned looks mess next ready sure
It looks like we are going to go ahead and look into the possibility of getting this thing cleaned up and make sure we are ready for next year. We don't want to mess with that thing. He's pitched on it long enough.
against force guard guys happy letting looks nice odds player talk trying
I want the whole player back. You have to guard against letting him get out there and trying to force too much or letting him do too much early. It's nice to see and I'm really happy that he's back out there running around, because when it happened, there was a lot of talk that some guys never come back from this. It looks like he's beating the odds right now.
letting looks work
He's just rushing. It looks like to me he's not patient. I'm just letting him play and not think about it, see if he can work his way through some of these things.
checked healthy knee looks man problems
He's healthy now. His knee got checked out at the end of the year. No problems. It looks great. Everything is fantastic. He's a stud. This young man is a real deal.
bullpen hopefully looks situations
Our bullpen looks like they need to be in those situations a little more, and hopefully we'll get them in there.
case guy looking looks start toward
He was a little out of whack before, but he's not out of whack anymore. This guy is making a case for himself. You get down toward the playoffs, you start looking at who can do it and who can't. It looks like he can do some things.
arm ball looks mechanical strength velocity
His arm strength looks good, his velocity is very good, but it's a mechanical thing just getting the ball down and locating the ball a little better.
looks ready
He's got a different mind-set, and it's showing. He looks like he's ready for the challenge.
division gotten people tried
We tried to tell people in the off-season that this division had gotten better and would be very tough.
ball based couple goes hole last moved night steps stop talked
We talked about it and moved them over a couple steps last night, but we're going to have to do better than that. You have to make adjustments based on who's pitching. If the ball goes through that hole a couple of times, then why don't we just move over so we can stop it?
good handled talked
We talked about a lot of things, things that weren't handled very good and we got it straightened out. It was a good conversation. We'll go about our work.
feels games schedule three throwing wait worried
We just really have to wait and see. On that schedule right there, getting in three games and if he feels comfortable throwing all three of his pitches, then he's probably going to be ready. But we're a little worried about this.
ball catching chance clubs hardest might pitching talked winning work
We just talked about being a winning team, and what we're all about here. Pitching and catching the ball is what we do best. It's what we work hardest at. We have a chance to win. We can say that where a lot of other clubs can't. Well, they might say it. But they can't say it like we can.
We just got here, give it a day.
