depends percent period season sidelines start sure throw
He's going to go out and throw and get loose. It depends how he feels. If you're 100 percent sure that he's OK, you do it. But if not, you don't want to start the season with someone aggravating something that sidelines them any period of time.
couple
He's going to be fine, just a couple of outings.
care deal permission personal
He's fine. Just like any other thing, he's got some personal things to deal with or whatever. He has permission to take care of it. It's fine.
exercises feeling healthy nice understand
He's been doing his exercises and maintaining his back exercises, and from what I understand he's feeling real strong. The thing I like more than anything is that everyone's pretty healthy and that's nice to see right now.
bouncing stuff
He was probably just bouncing around with exercises, stuff like that. His stomach's a little upset.
bottom erratic gathering himself line pitches seen
He was effectively erratic I guess. That was probably the most erratic we've seen him in a while. But the bottom line is he made pitches when he had to make them. Sometimes he may get out of sync, but he has a way of gathering himself when he has to.
ball fly nice
He was impressive. It was nice to see the ball fly out of his hand.
figure flexible loop
I already told Loop we're going to be flexible in that role, ... We'll see how it goes. It's not something that we can figure out because there's not enough time.
almost ball bit expected quite ready seen vintage
I almost expected him to do what he did tonight. I know he wanted the ball and he was ready for this. I have seen him quite a bit in the past, and it was vintage Trachsel.
feet keeping key
He was a little anxious. Sometimes a young guy, when you want to get your feet wet, you can be a little erratic. The key for me is keeping us in the game.
He was able to keep us in it.
talked wants
He wants to be the best. We've talked a lot about his approach.
arm
He did have a little more arm speed.
best pitches
He didn't have his best stuff, but made pitches when he had to. He showed me something.
