saturday sunday swings took
He took swings Saturday or Sunday and he didn't do too good.
ball breaking fastball good threw velocity
He threw the ball well. He had good velocity on his fastball and a good breaking ball. He was impressive.
felt good middle threw
He threw good but, in the middle of the game, I don't think he felt real comfortable.
He said it was a deke, so we're going with that,
days stand
I just can't stand still. One of these days I'm going to have to stand around, but while I can still do it, I'm going to do it.
anybody best goes healthy help hurt lack means might needs next rest season sure winter
In his case, because of the lack of innings, I think it might help him. I don't think it will hurt him. If anybody needs winter ball, it would be him. We want to make sure he's healthy going into the season next year, too, so if that means rest after he goes through all this rehab, that could be the best way to go, too.
good pitch
He actually made a pretty good pitch to Manny. But, as you know, Manny has done that before.
command good matter needed sure time tough
Health-wise, the other day it was good, but his command was not close. It was not good as we needed it to be. We just want to make sure when he comes up here he is not going to get hammered. It doesn't matter how good you throw, if you don't have your location, you're going to have a tough time getting through an inning in this league.
against bullpen couple faced good last mix san
He pitched really good against us the couple of times we faced San Diego, so he's in the mix for that last couple of bullpen spots.
faced last lift teams tempo today year
He pitched as well today as he did in Chicago. It's a big lift for us. Those last two teams he's faced are not slouches. His tempo was outstanding. I like his tempo. Last year his tempo was slow.
afraid aggressive caught good looks plate
I don't want to take anything away from (Vazquez), but he caught us at a good time. It looks like we aren't aggressive at the plate and are afraid to make an out up there.
caught good
I don't want to take anything away from him, but I think he caught us at a good time.
hope
I don't think this one is as serious, We hope so. It's up to him.
against hitting weekend
He's not hitting yet but doing everything else. He'll hit this weekend and hopefully, we'll get him back against Detroit.
