almost
He's fine. Right now, it's almost as if nothing happened.
along ben piece sheets starting three
He's been an important piece to our starting rotation, along with Ben Sheets and Doug Davis. They've really solidified the first three starting spots.
ball fastball good job keeping quick throws
He's done a good job keeping the ball in the zone. He has had short, quick innings. He throws that knuckleball, and then he throws an 83-mph fastball and jams good hitters. He's got some weapons.
good nervous time today
He's doing much better today than yesterday. We were going to be nervous if he wasn't. (Friday), every time he moved, it would spasm up. It's not doing that. That's a good sign.
guy situation
He's doing everything right now. I don't think there's a guy I'd more want to see up there in that situation than Carlos.
ended work
When they got the big inning in the third, it ended up costing us the game. That's something we'll work on all year.
command felt
He was on the attack, he had command of his pitches. He felt good.
hyped tough
He was really hyped up. He never got in a groove. He was overthrowing and he couldn't make the adjustment. It's the first day and it's tough on the young kids.
good moving pitches
He was moving his pitches in and out. He had a good split.
middle pitches
He was making pitches over the corners, not over the middle of the plate.
bothered grew himself match others
He grew up in this atmosphere. So the expectations others had for him have never bothered him because they can't match those that he's had for himself for a long time.
billy drove hit offense pitch
He got a pitch in on Carlos that Carlos hit out of the park, and Billy drove a pitch out over the plate, but other than that we couldn't muster much offense off him.
bit chase double guys hurt plays possibly seemed stayed tries
He got a lot of groundball double plays and he stayed away from the guys that could possibly hurt him, ... He's seemed like he tries to get you to chase a little bit and tonight, he was locating real well.
ball looked slow smoked
He looked outstanding. One ball was smoked and he made it look like a slow roller.
