attached five forget form gets gives guy last pitches ron three thrown
(Bench coach) Ron Wotus gives me all the pitches each guy has thrown over the last five days, ... We have a form attached to the lineup card. ... There have been some times a guy gets up even two or three times and doesn't get in the game. We don't forget about that.
college face guys polished stuff throws
I was one of the first guys to face Seaver in the majors. He was a college guy (Southern Cal), so he was more polished than this kid. But the stuff he throws is the same.
several throwing
He's throwing harder. His first several fastballs had a lot of life.
ball breaking hard improving throwing
He's going to be a late-inning pitcher, a closer-type guy. He's been throwing the ball hard and improving his breaking ball.

They pitched to Barry with a guy throwing 98, 97 mph. ...If that guy doesn't pitch to him, who will?

I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.

Closer to our ?A' team will be playing tomorrow. You're talking about Bonds and (Steve) Finley and (Mark) Sweeney.
bases believe capable great guy hide hitting home judged left question reach runs since speed steal talent
This guy is only being judged by the home runs now. Right now, he's only capable of hitting home runs. He doesn't steal the bases anymore. He's not the (superb) left fielder anymore. He doesn't have the speed anymore. I believe that when we reach back, we are going to hide all that talent that started when he was a kid. Because there's no question about it, this guy's been great since he was a kid.
david moves
Howard is impressive. He moves well around the bag. He's a David Ortiz-type man.
