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.
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.
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.
ball couple delivery hand head loads mark released trying
A little more trying to keep his hand away from his head when he loads the ball up on his delivery to the plate. When you look at Mark the first couple years here, you look at the way he released the ball at the end of his delivery and it was pretty easy. You didn't see a lot of effort.
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.
cubs importance point spent time
Obviously, I think at some point an organization has to look at the importance of stability. I don't think Cubs have ever really spent time doing that. There's always been a big turnover in personalities.
amount fast flat ground threw
I think what was fast was the amount he threw off flat ground and how much better he felt.
best few involved sway talked worry
I talked to a few of them. They didn't want to get involved and try to sway my decision. What they've said is they wanted me to do what was best for me and not to worry about anything else.
gets procedure throwing
He went through his throwing and we'll see him after he gets the procedure done and go from there.
billy concentration distracted face gotten improvement martin pitchers room striving
He's a young guy. It's like Billy Martin said -- if you tell him 10 times, tell him 11. Hopefully, that's the one that catches. He's gotten better and better at a lot of things. Obviously, there's room for improvement in concentration and not getting distracted by things. That's something we'll keep striving for. A lot of pitchers face that. Hopefully, we'll get through that.
arm behind both force good known means middle naturally pushing saw speed throwing walked
I think today, what I saw was that if I would've walked out there in the middle of their throwing and not known they both had had surgery, I don't know if I could've told that. That's a good sign. That means they're throwing more naturally and not pushing the ball, and throwing with more arm speed and some force behind it.
hopefully rotation time works
It may be one time around the rotation that he's set back, but hopefully that's the way it works out.
