committed concerns issues paperwork physical solid
What we are naming is 23 solid commitments. We've committed them, they've committed to us, all the paperwork is in place, there's no physical issues and concerns on the part of the clubs.
commit discussed involved mentally obviously physically playing point
Mentally and physically he's not at a point where he can commit to playing but he would like to be involved and we've discussed that. Obviously we'd like to have him involved in any context.
canadian gets great hopefully natural worked
I think it would be just great for Canadian baseball. There's a natural connection. Hopefully it all gets worked out.
benefit consistency
We couldn't get any consistency to it. It wasn't going to benefit him or us.
along arm hoped optimistic sound timeline wants
The arm is progressing along the timeline he hoped it would and he's optimistic it's going to be ready. If he's sound and healthy, he wants to play.
bat came double point positive six turned turning
That was a real positive for us. We turned that double play, and then we came to bat and scored six runs. It was the turning point of the game.
bullpen games pitch reducing
We like our bullpen. We can look, with those pitch counts, at reducing games to our bullpen a little quicker, potentially.
club decision indication pitch sit whether
We want to make a decision soon. He should get an indication of whether he can pitch or not after the outing, and then he'll have to sit down with the club and see what they think.
best figure options works
We're going to figure out what we do during the games. We're going to try out some options and see what works best for us.
bullpen depending figuring looking schedule situation slot
We may be in a situation now that we don't need to (piggyback starters). Depending on the game, you look at what your bullpen brings. We're just looking at the schedule now figuring where we need to slot people.
closer compete eric reality realized sets
He was enthusiastic and wanted to see if he could pitch. But as you get closer reality sets in. He realized it was questionable that he comfortably compete and comfortably be Eric Gagne.
devastated running
He was running backwards. He was pretty upset, devastated would be the word.
guys played pleased rodney
I was really pleased with the way Rodney pitched today. I thought all our guys played hard.
change given happens maybe moving quicker revisit view
He's disappointed it's probably not going to happen. We're going to revisit things with him in another 10-12 days, see if things are moving quicker than maybe he thought. If there happens to be a change of view on his part, we've been given assurances that we can reopen that scenario.
