ball charged coming guy hard lose signed throwing time
We're going to take our time with him. It's really hard to lose Noah, a young guy who was really coming up big. He just signed a long-term contract. He was really charged up and throwing the ball well.
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.

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.

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

That was a blow there. He was really throwing the ball well, and I'm hoping it's not long term. Otherwise, it was a sweet day.

several throwing
He's throwing harder. His first several fastballs had a lot of life.
arm best fast quick saw seen throwing
That's the best thing I saw from Schmidt. If your arm is not right, you're not going to be quick to the plate. That's as fast as I've ever seen him do it. And he pitched well, throwing only fastballs and change-ups.

I was afraid of last place, ... There were a lot of fears. Below .500 -- I never thought I'd see that here. Then, losing 100 games seemed like a possibility, then 90 games. All of those things could have been a reality here. The grave seemed like a reality here, but the guys didn't let it happen.
corner guy ruled saw strike
I thought the guy was out. Saw a strike on the corner that was not ruled a strike.

I think we hit about four balls hard today, or was it three?

It happens -- but it's a rare occasion for a pitcher of that stature.
