based feels
I think he can make it based on what he's done. If he feels comfortable, I feel comfortable.
almost expect full motion pain swelling turn
The swelling was almost completely gone. He had full motion and no pain. That's all very, very positive. I really didn't expect it to turn around that quickly.
absolutely ancient eight problems seven stuff
You always look at stuff like that, but that was seven or eight years ago. He's had absolutely no problems with that since. That's pretty much ancient history.
obviously
It doesn't look all that bad, but obviously he's out of the lineup.
batting close good last next playing practice progress swinging
Batting practice is next on his agenda. But he's swinging well and making good progress in the last 48 hours. He's close to playing in a game.
almost fairly groin guarantee impossible left today
Moises has a left groin pull, fairly significant. It's not minor. We're listing him as day-to-day because it's almost impossible to know when he'll return. But I can guarantee it's not today or tomorrow.
evaluate factor problems timetable
This was all his idea. When he left, he had no problems with the knee, but we will evaluate it tomorrow. This does not, in my mind, factor into when he will play in a game, and we do not have a timetable on that.
concern muscle next time
There is some inflammation in the muscle and it is his push-off leg, so that's a concern any time for a pitcher, ... We'll know more in the next day or so.

We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing. You can't help but be pleased that he came here, he did some good stuff, he left, and we'll see how it is tomorrow.
age age-and-aging eight last matter worked
We're going to go back to the things that worked the last eight years. No matter what age a person is, he still has to go out and run.
certain player ultimately
Ultimately the player makes this decision, to a certain degree,
gone good looked pleased
Overall, we're just real pleased with how this has gone so far. He looked good and has looked good for a while.
far weird
As far as I'm concerned, he's ready. Now we're just double-checking and triple-checking. But this is a weird injury. I'm always going to be a little worried.
against among best competing days injured league reality teams
Actually, we were 10th in the league in days missed. And while that is unacceptable -- traditionally we've been among the best -- the reality was, in our division, we were competing against teams more injured than we were.
