care few personal rather sooner taking
We have no idea when he's going to be back. Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later. He's taking care of a few things, and I can't really say any more than that. It's a personal matter.
baseball heart games
It's amazing what you can do in this game with a heart and a brain
pitch walk
Walk A-Rod? And pitch to Giambi? How about that one?
preparing quite ready time worst
We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation. We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will.
classy great kid known
I've known Reggie for a while. My son, David, and he are great friends. It's no surprise. I've known he was a classy kid for a long time.
barrel guy veteran
He's a veteran guy who understands what a guy is doing and just put the barrel on it.

He was probably better than we saw him over in Kansas City. He was good.

He tells us he's been bothered by this sore elbow for a couple of weeks. I wish he'd told us a couple of weeks ago.

His tempo, his motions, everything. It just seems like he's grown up.

Go figure. You hit into four double plays, that's not good.
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.
lower
It's stiffness in his lower back, no big deal.
