coming knowing mad
Knowing Kam, I don't think there will be anything. He's still mad about coming out of the game.
bullpen coming injury leaning nature ready sealed tough toward
By the nature of his injury it would be tough to get him ready to be a starter. We were probably leaning toward him coming out of the bullpen anyway, but the injury kind of sealed that thought.
coming outside park
He's coming from probably the most hitter-friendly park outside of Colorado, so this is an upgrade.
coming good quality strikes throwing track
He was up with some pitches. He had been throwing quality strikes down. He was coming off some good outings. With young pitchers, the more you get out there, the better your track record.
concerned seem
They don't seem to be concerned about it that much.
beckett chance gave great obviously quality ran top
Kam was outstanding. He gave us a great chance to win, but he ran into Beckett. Two big body, quality starters, and obviously Beckett was at the top of his game.
capable continuing extend four good help nights pitching three
It was just not his night. Three out of four nights ... I'm not going to extend him there. He wasn't pitching as good as he's capable of. He's scuffling. There's no sense in him continuing to scuffle if I can help it.
feeding frenzy mound negative positive side spring throw
It's Spring Training. I know how that goes, ... First, you throw on the side and you get a positive or negative feeding frenzy. Then you throw off the mound and get a positive or negative feeding frenzy ... and when you're done, you throw all of it out the window. It's not just Chan Ho. It's everybody.
capable carried consistent doubt form gets good
It just hasn't carried over so far. It will be good for him to get consistent at-bats down there and get back to the form that we need him to be in, and he's capable of being in. There's not any doubt that if he gets it going like he's capable of, he could be back very soon.
bumps came few good proud
I was proud of the way he came back. He showed us some good things. He just had a few bumps in the road.
chance likes maybe might relief team thinks
He likes the relief role. Maybe he thinks he has a better chance of making the team that way, but he might want to think about that a little deeper.
tough
The hit-by-pitch hurt. It's tough to get him out anyway.
fine perfect physically
He's perfect to go. He's fine physically to go.
sit ways
There's a lot of different ways to do it. That's something we'll sit down and discuss.
