Dave Duncan
exactly last saw seeing stuff
I'm seeing Mulder exactly the same way I saw him last spring. Location-wise, he's kind of all over the place. But his stuff is a little better than it was.
listen matter people
He's respected, and people listen to him. That's a big part of coaching. If they don't listen to you, it doesn't matter what you tell them.
adam both eliminated good looked nobody themselves
Nobody has eliminated themselves from anything. They both looked good today, and so has Adam Wainwright.
aura certain fiction perceived surrounds truth whether
There's an aura that surrounds certain guys, whether it's truth or fiction I don't know, but it's the way they're perceived by the opposition,
flip gibson might nolan ryan sure win
If you do something he doesn't like, he just might flip you. Nolan Ryan was that way. Don Drysdale, I'm sure was that way. (Bob) Gibson was that way. Not that they're out of control. They're not out of control; they're in control. But they're going to win the game.
information knows work
He knows what information I want, and I know he's accurate. I work off Chad's base.
camp good last leaving matter prove questions remember
If I remember correctly, we had some questions leaving camp last year. No matter how good you are - and we have to prove we're good - there are going to be questions.
attacked boils
I was attacked on the field. That's what it boils down to.

That gives him time to get some treatment and also throw in the bullpen prior to starting a game.
continues exciting keeps type year
He can have a big year. If he continues to go like he's been going so far, he can have a very big year. He's real smooth. Under control. It's exciting to think about the type of year he could have if he keeps going the way he's been going.
difference himself knows mentally ready win
It's reality. There is a difference when you have to win and when you want to win but you don't have to. He knows how to get himself mentally ready to pitch.
compare depth last rotation starting
You can't even compare this starting rotation to last year. There's so much more depth this year.
feels
If he feels better he'll go out there tomorrow. We'll go from there.
blue controlled exception games guys seen winning
It's not just winning games. It's the way he's pitched. He's been pretty dominant. I've seen guys win a lot of games before. But with the exception of Vida Blue in 1971, I've never seen a guy that has controlled the game, game after game after game, like he has.
