andy concern individual pitchers pitches talking themselves watches
Andy watches it all the time, now we're talking to individual pitchers about doing it. They do go watch it when they come out of the games. They watch themselves a lot. It's not so much a concern about tipping pitches but making better pitches.

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.

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?

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.
