guys next
We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
balls felt location parts
He just never really got it going tonight. He felt good, he felt all right. At times he popped it at 93 and most parts he got it around 90. He had a lot of balls up (and) his location just wasn't very good.
balls bat found hit night smashing struggled
He just struggled all night long. They weren't smashing balls all over the place. They hit some balls off the end of the bat and they found some holes.
ball board five found hit runs
He just struggled. They didn't hit the ball hard, but they found holes. They put five runs on the board on him quick.
balls hitting
He's hitting a lot of balls on the nose.
maximize trying work
I was just trying to maximize our matchups, ... It didn't work out.
hitter shows
That shows the kind of hitter he is.
expanding good strike
He had very good stuff. He had an outstanding (split-finger fastball). He's working one expanding (his strike zone) a little bit.
meat serious
It's nothing serious but it got him right in the meat part of his hand. It's just a little sore.
deceiving looks
Looks are deceiving at times. Sometimes, they're not.
hitters talking third trouble
He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us.
evaluate fine miss slight strain
He's got a slight strain of the right lat, not his shoulder, not his elbow. We'll evaluate him tomorrow, but we don't even know if he's going to miss a start. We think he's going to be just fine and dandy.
easily errors number throwing
He's growing, he's learning, he's trying. He's going to make mistakes. His fielding is improving. You look at the number of errors he has made and how many of them have been throwing errors? Those things are easily fixed.
levels reason three year
I think we all were (impressed). There's some reason why he has jumped three levels in a year and a half. You could see why today.
