basically discomfort process slower
It's a little slower process there because you've got to get that inflammation out of there. There's still a little discomfort there. It's considerably better, which is basically what we expected.
given keeps ready round second
The second round is important for us to get him ready and that he keeps progressing. I have nothing to say about it, but I would like him to get a start. Some consideration has to be given to that. If not, then we have to reconsider what's going on. After the first round I need to find out what's going on with him.
bit goes
He has done well, other than a little bit when he goes over his head. That's pretty normal.
looked quickness throwing
You could see there was more quickness to his arm. He just looked more comfortable throwing the ball.
approach couple games manage meetings nice spend time weeks
It would be nice to have them here because the first couple weeks of games we spend a lot of time going over how we approach things. We have meetings every day, and they won't be here for them. But we'll manage and adjust. We have no choice.
ball coming daily days gained good lose might progress work
It's been good to see where he is. Even with the 13 days off, he didn't lose a whole lot, and he might have actually gained some. ... The ball is coming out with some force. We can progress him as his daily work allows.
bump couple face hitters next program quite ready start weeks woody
The next time, we'll bump his up quite a bit. He may be ready to face some hitters and start the program that Woody started a couple weeks ago.
finished looked next pick
He looked OK, for where we are. He finished up pretty strong. We'll pick it up there the next time.
progress sort time
Then we'll see if we can get him into some sort of games. It's time for him to progress a little bit.
days far knows next sides talk
He knows that he does sides in between and the days he does them. I'll talk to him in the next day or two but the scheduling, as far as pitching, is not in our hands.
gone mound time
Any time you have gone through surgery, once you get back on the mound the first time, it's a little different feeling. Yeah, it was a pretty step.
built bullpen innings limiting needs progress putting retard work
He is going to be built up as a starter. With the rehab, he needs to be built up that way. You can't retard the progress by putting him in the bullpen and limiting the innings and pitches. He is going to need to get the work as a starter.
career certain games good height return talked year
He's not at the height of his career but there's still a lot of good games for him to pitch. We talked at the end of the year about certain things he could do to return to what he's done in the past.
amazing bunch flat mound pitches threw
He threw about 12 pitches off the mound and a bunch off flat ground. It's pretty amazing to watch.
