energy stuff talking team waste
His stuff is good. Hey, we're 9-2 and he's a part of our team and as long as we're doing well I don't feel I should waste a lot of energy talking about him.
benefits compete experience gets great loves start
He's going to start in Triple-A. The experience is great for him. The more experience he gets at this level, he benefits from it. He loves to compete and he's not intimidated too much.
days gone good played
He's gone out and played and had some good days and not so good days.
assuming knows program start step top
He's going to start to step up his program a little bit. He knows he has to start getting ready. He didn't actually say, 'I'm going to get on the top (of the mound),' but I'm assuming that he might. He probably will. We'll see.
handle knows pitching veteran
He's a veteran guy. He knows how to handle a pitching staff.
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.
maybe nice starting
He had a nice game. Maybe he's starting to feel comfortable this spring. But we've got a long way to go.
nice noticed
He had a nice game. I noticed he had more pep in his step.
fair played throw
He hasn't played in a week, so I don't think it would be fair to throw him in there today.
act game great houdini job less maybe playing
He did a great job of playing a little Houdini act there. He had more or less a C-plus game - a C-minus game, maybe - and was able to make big pitches.
act great houdini job
He did a great job of a Houdini act out there.
