arm asked conditions fifth gotten last quicker remember showing spring starter stuff tells time year
His stuff has gotten better each time out. What that tells me is his arm is quicker than it has been. Last year at the end and in Spring Training, he wasn't showing the quick arm that I remember seeing. He has done everything we asked him to do and that's really what the conditions were. We need a fifth starter and he's going to be that guy.
care few gone hate home hopefully permission personal taken
He's gone home for personal matters. That's all I can say about it. He's just got permission to go home and take care of a few things. I hate to be so vague, but hopefully this will be taken care of sooner, if not later.
barrel guy veteran
He's a veteran guy who understands what a guy is doing and just put the barrel on it.
freak
He's done it before, he understands situations. He doesn't freak out.
focus four game nature running stop
When they got the four runs, we can't stop playing. We've got to keep playing. The nature of the game is to keep going. I didn't think the focus was there at the end after they got the four runs. That can't happen. I'm kind of running out of answers.
kansas saw
He was probably better than we saw him over in Kansas City. He was good.
games great runs scoring start win
He was great the way he got out of it that inning. He's going to win a lot of games for us. We've just got to start scoring some runs for him.
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.
funny mike running
He was running funny, but Mike has kind of a funny gait anyway. We don't think it's serious.
depends game good opportunity played spring training
He's played really well. He'll come into Spring Training with a real good opportunity. A lot of it depends on what we do in the winter, but there's not a whole lot about his game that I don't like.
couple defensive games good mainly playing time
He'll play a couple of games at short, but mainly he'll play second. He'll get a lot of playing time there. We want to see what he can do offensively, we already know he's a good defensive player.
good mentioned
He mentioned that he didn't do a very good job.
heard hundred last whatever
Whatever I said to them last night, they've heard a hundred times. So, no.
We're playing, really, really bad. We've got to come out of it.
