committed continue count decent himself looks needs seems work year
He seems committed to getting himself in decent shape. Health-wise he looks good. He needs to continue to work on his conditioning, so we can count on him being there all year long.
learning
I like his stuff, but he's still learning how to pitch.
affects split
It affects his split and his slider. It's more precautionary than anything.
ballpark bit few gets hearts maybe pitches settled spring stadium stuff threw throwing time training
He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.
games guy help win
He's a guy that'll help us win some games.
eye move public stupidity
I think when you're in the public eye you unfortunately have to get that kind of stupidity. But that's the way it is. You just live with it and move on.

He seems to be doing better. He's beginning to talk about coming back. That's a good sign.
nice weekend
It was nice to come back here and do that after the weekend we had in Cleveland.

We're hoping our starters give us more innings. All indications are they will. We want to be cautious with our bullpen.

We have a really strict pitch count for these younger kids.
count kids pitch strict
We have a real strict pitch count for these young kids and he was at 97. We were going to let him go between 95 and 100.
quite throwing woody
Woody wasn't throwing at him. But, quite frankly, Doug did what he had to do to keep things from escalating.
next nice
When we do things like that we don't usually come back. So it was nice to come back, especially in that next inning.
We have some depth. It just makes it that much more competitive. There are a lot of openings.
