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.
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.
conditions primary second time trying
He was overthrowing a little bit. He was trying to do a lot of things that he does during the season, but it's the second time out and the conditions are a lot different. As long as he comes out of it healthy, that's the primary thing.
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 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.
building looked mound next ok pick time today
He looked OK for where we are. We'll pick it up next time and keep building on it. Today was just to get him on the mound and get him going.
talk time
He didn't talk me into it. We'll go at least one more time with what we're doing.
breaking throwing time
He started throwing some breaking balls. We'll probably go at least one more time with what we're doing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
