feeling might onto playing rush
To put him on the DL right away would be playing it safe, obviously. But it's also important that we don't rush him onto the DL because he is feeling better today. So even if he doesn't play this weekend, he might be able to go on Tuesday.

certain continuing solid spring style toward training work
It's Spring Training, so you get your work in. But we're still continuing to work toward a certain style of solid play, how we go about our business. I want to see some of that, too. Spring Training isn't just about stats.

It's not going to be a thing if he comes here where we say, 'OK, fine, put him at second and let him play,' because we want to win games,
best early good hitters longer strong trend wait
Everyone is strong early in the season. I think it's best to wait a little longer and see if the trend sticks. I just think some good hitters are off to some good starts.

Everyone pitches with a certain amount of discomfort. We have medical reports every day and Loop never said anything about not taking the ball. He was my closer and he said he was fine.
