bottom guys kid last line looked
I thought he looked the same as he did last year. The bottom line is he's a big kid who can get guys out.
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.
heard hundred last whatever
Whatever I said to them last night, they've heard a hundred times. So, no.
case couple haunt innings last
I don't know what to say. When you don't get innings out of your rotation, it's always going to come back to haunt you. That's been the case the last couple of days.
last mac obvious year
He was the obvious choice. He's got the stuff, and he did it last year when Mac wasn't available, so he has some experience.
behind care hope last taken
From my understanding, it was taken care of last year. They talked. I hope it's behind us. That was nasty.
arm dropped great individual keeps last position slot talked tough year
The thing I look at most is the individual pitchers. And I thought Bautista's arm slot was in a great position. It's something we've talked about earlier. Last year his arm slot dropped a little bit, but his arm is in great position right now, and if he keeps it that way, it's going to be tough to keep him out of the rotation.
last repeat
I just repeat myself every night. Just take what I said last night.
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.
changes chemistry course developed good spring
I think we're all very optimistic. Because of the changes we made over the winter, because of the chemistry we developed through the course of spring training, I think we all feel pretty good about where we're at right now.
delays help rain
I think the two rain delays didn't help matters.
holes seems
We got back in the game, but it seems we never have enough. We have too many holes in the lineup to keep things going.
consistent overall results strike
Results are everything, I guess. Denny just has to be more consistent in the strike zone. Overall he was good, but could be better.
