Guys aren't ready to throw every day. Guys aren't ready to throw four or five innings.

We need to make sure we're ready for next year for him. We don't want to mess with that thing. He's pitched on it long enough, and tonight he kind of tweaked it again.
anybody bullpen protected ready september starting themselves throwing
We've protected our starting staff, so they're good, they're ready to go. We haven't let anybody kill themselves throwing 120 pitches, so we're set up for September pitching-wise, if our bullpen can maintain.

There's concern with everybody. What if one of your pitchers ends up in the bullpen? How is he going to be ready for the season without getting innings?

A presence like his can only help. He's a pretty classy man. He told me he's ready to do whatever it takes to help. If I need him to help some young kids, he'll do that.
face good guy hopefully kenny likes lost needs ready rogers sat start step
Kenny Rogers is not the guy he likes to face very often, so we sat him out. But he was ready to play. We've lost a lot of people, and Jacque is one guy who needs to step up.... Hopefully that's a good start for him to get on a roll.

He understands that this is what we have to do to get ready for next year.
absolute bull calm expected gets raging ready rush saw
He gets a little raging bull out there sometimes. He's got to calm down. But we saw everything we expected to and more. To say he's ready for the big leagues, yeah, if we were in absolute need, he'd be fine. But we're not going to rush him.
bench games guys happy help ready stay thin
Being on the bench for these games won't help them get ready for season. We are thin at the infield spots, so we are very happy to have these guys stay here.
excited good japan last leaves playing plus ready shape void year
Him playing in Japan last year kind of leaves us a void here as to what he's going to look like. We were told he was in good shape here and ready to go. He's excited about being back here and he's excited about being back with the Twins, so those are all good things. If he comes here in shape and healthy, then he can be a big plus for our team.
looks ready
He's got a different mind-set, and it's showing. He looks like he's ready for the challenge.
