beyond brings park
He's a professional. He brings savvy. He brings a different element. There's a lot more that comes to the park with El Duque beyond his stuff.
came chance gave gets good throw
He came back and really gave us a chance to win. He comes out and establishes that he's going to throw strikes, and that gets him into a good rhythm.
ahead behind low previous ratio starts strike zone
He really commanded the low part of the strike zone and he pitched ahead in the count. His ball-strike ratio was outstanding (28-61). His two previous starts he was up in the zone and he pitched behind in the count.
beyond far guy pitching
If he's on, you'll see a guy pitching so far beyond his years it's frightening.
challenges considered dealing lie preparing raw rookie time
I don't think he'd be here if we considered him raw and vulnerable. The real challenges lie in just preparing him or dealing with the things he's going through for the first time that most 19-year-olds are going through in rookie ball.
matter pitchers throw
It's a matter of familiarity. Working together, catchers get to know what pitchers like to throw in situations, like with two strikes. They know what a pitcher can do, and can't.
catch game looked nice seemed today
It was encouraging to see him play a nice game of catch today without any reservations or restrictions. He looked good. He seemed to feel pretty good.
certainly feels lengthy scratched since threw
It was OK. He's still on a day-to-day basis. We haven't scratched him, but we are certainly going to see how he feels tomorrow, especially since he threw a pretty lengthy 'pen today.
challenged consistency crack routine suggest work
There's been nothing to suggest he'll crack when he is challenged more. I see consistency in his work ethic, routine and demeanor.
considered managerial
It didn't look like I would be considered for the managerial position.
again expectation percent pitching
I think that Gil will be pitching for us again this year; that's my expectation. But the idea is to get him 100 percent healthy. There's no need to rush.
area expect harder hurt starts throwing
It's nothing serious, it's soreness we're told to expect as he starts throwing harder and harder. It's soreness, but it's not in the same area he hurt in April.
excited hard overly
It's hard not to get overly excited about him.
certain hoped line relevance score
It wasn't as pretty a line score as I'm certain he would have hoped for but it had no relevance in my eyes.
