barry came good help knee knows month pleased tells
We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing. You can't help but be pleased that he came here, he did some good stuff, he left, and we'll see how it is tomorrow.
game good innings knee looked looks opening plenty soon time watch
His knee looks good. It has looked good for a while, so we'll see how he comes out of this and we'll get him into a major-league game as soon as we can. We'll watch him, but things are going the way we anticipated. He's got plenty of time to get his innings in between now and Opening Day.
good innings knee looked opening plenty time
His knee has looked good for a while, and things are going the way we anticipated. He has plenty of time to get his innings in before Opening Day.
absolutely ancient eight problems seven stuff
You always look at stuff like that, but that was seven or eight years ago. He's had absolutely no problems with that since. That's pretty much ancient history.
gone good looked pleased
Overall, we're just real pleased with how this has gone so far. He looked good and has looked good for a while.
based feels
I think he can make it based on what he's done. If he feels comfortable, I feel comfortable.
obviously
It doesn't look all that bad, but obviously he's out of the lineup.
evaluate factor problems timetable
This was all his idea. When he left, he had no problems with the knee, but we will evaluate it tomorrow. This does not, in my mind, factor into when he will play in a game, and we do not have a timetable on that.
age age-and-aging eight last matter worked
We're going to go back to the things that worked the last eight years. No matter what age a person is, he still has to go out and run.
fairly himself tells
For Moises to take himself out the lineup tells you it's a fairly significant injury.
afford anticipate battling regular season week
He's been battling it for a week to 10 days. We don't anticipate it being a big issue. If this was the regular season you wouldn't even know about it. With an off-day and everything, we could afford to give him some rest.
expect full gone hoping medication morning motion swelling turn
He was put on anti-inflammatory medication and this morning he is much, much, much improved. . . . The swelling was completely gone and he had full motion and no pain. I really didn't expect it to turn around that quickly, but that's what we were hoping for.
fact morning regular today
He was put on anti-inflammatory medication, and this morning he is much, much, much improved, and in fact probably could play today if this were the regular season.
cut deeper seem small
He got a small but significant cut on his throat. I don't want to over-dramatize it, but if it were a little deeper and a quarter-inch over, it would have been over his carotid artery. It didn't seem like much, but it could have been pretty bad.
