Dave Duncan
good hopefully los situation
He's got a lot of talent. He's from Los Angeles, so hopefully that will be a good situation for him.
asking push shape shows
He shows you a good, live arm. For what we're asking him to do, he's in shape to do that, as long as we don't push him.
deserve happy help kids work
Granddad. These kids deserve all that they get from this sale. They work really hard, and I'm happy to help them in any way I can.
feels
If he feels better he'll go out there tomorrow. We'll go from there.
expect objective
The objective is to get (Looper) 100 percent. We don't expect it's going to take that long.
anywhere guy huge plus situation sixth team weapon
It's a real plus when you have a guy who can come into a situation anywhere from the sixth inning on and get a huge out for you. It's even better if he can get a strikeout when you need it. That's a weapon not every team has.
bring guy side throw
It's not really a concern. Izzy's not a guy who really has to have a lot of work. In his case, it can be better for him to throw on the side than to bring him into a (non-save) situation.
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.
bullpen gives prior starting throw time treatment
That gives him time to get some treatment and also throw in the bullpen prior to starting a game.
easier percent ride worldwide
About 95 percent of skateboarders worldwide are not vert riders. They don't have vert ramps around. It's easier to ride the streets.
aggressive behind concerned controls corners count counts early inside looks mostly needs outside strike throw top trying
It looks to me like he's trying to be too fine. He's getting behind in the count too much. When he does know he has to throw a strike, it's in the top of the strike zone. He needs to be more aggressive early in the counts - not as concerned inside and outside as he is up and down ... mostly down. He can go to the corners when he controls the counts.
bad bit bullpen changes decision delivery easy gets guys habits himself hurts sudden
It was pretty easy to wait. I don't want him going out there the least bit restricted, and then all of a sudden his delivery changes and he gets into some kind of bad habits or hurts himself worse. The bullpen is well-rested, especially the guys that are able to give us innings: Eldred and Thompson. It's a pretty easy decision to make.
early simply
It's real early in the process. Right now, we just simply don't know how it's going to look in the end.
guys majority pitchers season step successful
At the same time, these guys are going to have to step up and be the pitchers they were the majority of the season for us to have a successful postseason.
