loose
It wasn't getting loose so we weren't going to try it.
pulls spot though
If he pulls something, even though it's not the spot where we're concentrating on, it could set him back too far. We probably did the right thing.
balls basically motion pressure putting stood threw
He stood up and threw without putting a lot of pressure on the knee. Just basically tossing 90 balls to keep the motion and looseness through the shoulder.
determined
That will be determined as we go. We'll see. He's where he should be in rehab. There have been no setbacks. As long as we can keep progressing, that's what we're after.
determined rehab schedules setbacks
I don't put schedules on rehab. That will be determined as we go. He's where he should be in a rehab from the surgery. No setbacks or anything. As long as we can keep progressing, that's what we are after.
expect good pitcher together
A pitcher like him, you would expect him to get it together and go on a pretty good run.
ability ball chance concentration excellent high level shows strikes throw time
He shows us the ability to throw strikes any time in the count. He has a high level of concentration on every pitch, and that's something we like. Because of his experience, he has an excellent chance to be in the rotation. The ball is really in his court.
arm ball balls breaking building built gets pitches spin strength threw today until worry
He threw some breaking balls today -- we're really concentrating more on building arm strength. We'll spin the ball some, but I don't really worry about the breaking ball as much as some other pitches until the arm strength gets built up. Those things will come back.
arm ball looked quickness throwing time
From the time he started throwing the ball all the way through the mound, you could see there was more quickness to his arm and he looked more comfortable throwing the ball.
command consistent strong
Greg has had a strong spring. His command is obvious. When he's got his command, he's tough. He's more consistent with it than most.
careful chunks cost figured mind setbacks shoulders start term trying
In my mind I figured we weren't going to start the season. I thought that all winter. Shoulders are a little different and you'd better be careful with it. Because setbacks can be long term and cost you long chunks of times. That's what we are trying to avoid.
four job mind took winning
I took the job four years ago with winning in mind, and we haven't accomplished that.
ballpark days family majority matter months obligation spent spring talking time training truth weighed
The two months that I'm in Spring Training is tough. The family obligation weighed heavily. We spent a lot of time talking about that. The truth of the matter is during spring, I'm at the ballpark the majority of days for 12, 15 hours. I wouldn't get a whole lot of time with them.
determined moving strength toward
That'll be determined by how he comes in each day and the strength of which he can throw, and we'll keep moving toward it.
