ginger leave options runs spring until
I still think he runs a little ginger at times. But he's doing everything he has to do. I'm never going to say never until we get down to the end of spring training. I think you just leave your options open.
depend gets series takes until whether
I don't know, not until he comes out and takes BP. Whether he gets into this series or not will depend on him. He's pretty sore, that's all I know.
effort looked until
We made an effort there at the end. Up until that, it looked ugly.
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.
check closer deal order tomorrow until
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.
decision everyday opening until
A regular, everyday guy, yeah, were going to have one. But I don't have to make that decision until Opening Day.
fall hope means race sure until
I hope he doesn't get a start, because if he doesn't that means we're in the race until the end. But if we fall out of it, sure we'll take a look at that.
game gave majors pitch until
It was his game until he gave up a run. You don't get too many opportunities in the majors to pitch a 1-0 shutout.
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.
