barry came good help knee knows month pleased tells
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.
fairly himself tells
For Moises to take himself out the lineup tells you it's a fairly significant injury.
came dugout himself injury tells unable
He said something to me in the dugout and wanted to go back out. It stiffened up out there, and he came in and immediately said he's unable to go. For Moises to take himself out of the lineup, that tells you it's a significant injury right from the beginning.
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,
obviously
It doesn't look all that bad, but obviously he's out of the lineup.
expect game missed spring training whether
I think we're going to take one day at a time. I think that if he does what we expect him to do this year, no one's going to look back and say whether he missed a spring training game or not.
based feels
I think he can make it based on what he's done. If he feels comfortable, I feel comfortable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
