Just knowing him for a brief period of time, I feel like he's going to go out there and give it 110% and he's going to put the effort in to get better on a daily basis. He's not going to go out there and just put time in.
I might be more reasonable with it. There will be a certain time when the things go off. At a certain time, you have to start preparing yourself for the ballgame and think about the people around you.
We have more than a week left before the season starts, and there is plenty of time for decisions like that to be made.
We're not going to have the kind of club that's going to just outscore teams. We're going to need good pitching along with timely hits. That's what worked for 90 games last season.
We felt like every time he took the ball he was going to go nine innings, no matter what. I really admire him for that.
Unless he takes longer than five to seven days, or is still there, then that's when there's some concern and will have some type of effect on the team. Other than that, he's got plenty of time to get ready for the season.
He had a live arm, but he couldn't find the strike zone. You expect him to be a little sharper, but he'll throw better the next time out.
He felt like every time he took the ball, he was going to go nine innings, no matter what. The good ones, they perform even though they're not 100 percent -- they find a way to get the job done.
He can throw it at any time and throw it for strikes. It's a very effective pitch for him. I want to learn how he throws it, keep it in mind, maybe teach it to someone else.
He continues to improve. He continues to get sharper each time out, and his location was very good today. He had a very good outing today. Keep building -- that's what we look for. As you go along, you get better. This was his best outing so far.
He had brain cramps. He was a spectator. It didn't hurt us tonight, but it will hurt you another time you do it. The Mets are struggling and they didn't take advantage of things.

You get up, you go to first base, you come back up and hit against the guy the next time and you do some damage with the bat. Those days are over.
You feel especially good inside when the kids go out there and do a job for you. This team is probably going to have a different face on it by the time we see it next year opening day.
