drive five hit kenny line pitching until
Kenny was pitching well until he got hit by that line drive and he battled his way through five innings.
difference guys hits limits maker turns
I wouldn't put any limits on him. He can be a difference maker defensively, one of those guys who turns hits into outs.
good hit kenny pitches seen
Kenny was effective. They've seen Kenny so much. They hit some good pitches for hits. He bent, but he didn't break.
couple days gone hit quite time
He only got hit a couple of days ago and it's going to take time to look at things. There was a lot of swelling, but it has gone down quite a bit. There's still time.
consistent hitter throughout
He's been such a consistent hitter throughout his career. He can take a mulligan, but he doesn't.
along hitters mistakes pitches pitching
He was cruising along and pitching really well. He just made some mistakes with pitches and the hitters hit them.
bet hits somebody strikes walks
He's a young pitcher. He's going to have hiccups, but stuff-wise he has been very impressive. He's going to give up some hits here. I bet he walks somebody and I bet he strikes somebody out.
confidence hit last patch rough season shake
The rough patch he hit at the end of last season would shake anybody's confidence a little, but it's nothing that can't be repaired.
balls hit
They hit a lot of balls that snuck through.
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.
