amount fast flat ground threw
I think what was fast was the amount he threw off flat ground and how much better he felt.
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.
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.
again balance hill mound slope threw toward
He threw off the mound toward the end, really just to get him up on the hill and get used to the slope again and get his balance and things like that right.
close normal routine threw
He threw all his pitches, and it was as close to a normal routine as I have seen.
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.
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.
days few next side sure watch
We'll watch him the next few days and do a side and make sure he's OK. He may be back up in a few days.
aware channel concentration energy gotten hitters hope lose microscope needs stays worked
I think he's gotten better and better. I think he's aware of it. He is under a microscope at this level. He's worked at it. I hope the energy is still there ? I don't want him to lose the energy. He needs to channel it enough that the concentration stays in getting hitters out during games.
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.
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.
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.
batting next practice throwing time
We'll know more when he's not just throwing batting practice the next time out.
ease four gets hardly hit last line maybe mind missed remember spring starts three until
You'd like to see him get three or four starts down here. You have to remember after he hardly pitched last spring he only missed one start until hit by the line drive. Maybe he's just not a spring-training guy. It'll ease everybody's mind once he gets into action.
