days hope knee
It's days like this that tell you he's getting closer, ... But ... we don't know how he'll feel tomorrow. We hope (the knee is) not cranky.
days
It's days like this that tell you he's getting closer, but he's going to have to feel like he's ready.
agreed allowed camp check final miss people question step time
They'll be allowed to come into camp early, and the only people (who'll miss that much time) are people who play for the final two teams. I don't know if there will be a big question about Barry's knee. He's agreed to play as a DH, which is a different ballgame. We'll take it one step at a time and check off all the boxes.
found worked yesterday
They worked on him yesterday and found he wasn't getting much better.
jason sign
The more you see of the old Jason Schmidt, the more you want to sign him. We need him to get through 200 innings.
changes fair makeup pitching year
It's just one year. A lot of it has to do with the makeup of teams, how the pitching has been, how fair the ballparks play. That changes from year to year.
barry fact fortified obvious reason whatever
It's obvious we have to be more fortified if in fact for whatever reason Barry and/or Mo (Alou) don't play 120-plus games,
along goes
It just goes along with our whole year. I don't know if it's frustrating or ironic.
almost surreal
It's almost surreal he's going to be out there.
continue daily uniform until wait
It's wait and see. He's been through a lot and he will continue to be through a lot until he's back in uniform on a daily basis.
conscious cranky days games next position reasonable rest spring step training wants
It's reasonable to think he can play 120 games. Now, will we be in a position to have to rest him and be conscious that he's going to come in some days cranky and not be able to go? The next step is to get him in spring training and get him in a position to be able to do that. I think he wants that.
bullet guy losing might mind quite track
The first thing that comes to mind is we might have dodged a bullet of losing Scott. This guy has got quite a track record.
closer game guy knee next presented sees until
You've got to get this guy closer to game action, fast-twitch action. Anything he's doing right now is under quote-unquote control. It's not as if he's being presented into the game. Until he does that and Dr. Yocum sees how the knee responds, you can't go to the next step.
against field giants given help knowing means performing records retiring
You've got to be open-minded, but it is an open-ended situation. You have to see him on the field performing for the Giants first to help us win, and ... knowing what that means against records or him retiring as a Giant. But I think you've got to be open-minded, given who it is.
