accelerate gets until
When he gets to hitters, we can probably accelerate it pretty well. Until we get to that point, I don't want to accelerate it too much.
building strength
We're just now building up his strength and stamina. I don't use timetables. It's impossible.
few
We'll see where he is in a few days.
attentive knows repeated woody
Woody knows what I'm going to say to him before I do. It's been repeated enough and he's attentive enough.
aware channel concentration games gotten hitters impact lose microscope stays winning
He's gotten better. He's more aware of it and the impact it has, especially being under the microscope at this level. I don't want him to lose the energy, just channel it enough that the concentration stays on getting hitters out and winning games and that's the end of it.
forth mind
I went back and forth in my mind a lot,
following gets point relief somebody stuff
I don't want him following somebody in relief at this point in his career. He gets a lot out of stuff early.
dealing everybody figure knows means wait
I'm going to wait and see what we're dealing with first and try to figure out what we have to do and go from there. Everybody knows what he means to the team. We'll have to wait and see.
catcher good improved pride takes
He's become a good catcher for us. He takes a lot of pride in it, and he's improved in every phase.
talk time
He didn't talk me into it. We'll go at least one more time with what we're doing.
deserves pride record
He deserves it. It's significant in a lot of ways. He's already established a record that's never been done before. Greg has a lot of pride in what he does, and it's significant to him, so I think it's important.
faces few figured hitters mound season start
I think once he's off the mound a few times and faces some hitters and doesn't have setbacks, we'll have a better timetable. In my mind, I figured we weren't going to start the season with him. I've thought that all winter.
face until
Until I see him face hitters, I don't want to go that far.
arm gone middle plan throwing
The only plan is to keep his arm in shape, because he's gone a long way to get it to where it is and we don't want to go backwards. In the middle of a rehab, it's important to keep throwing and keep the looseness in there.
