energy stuff talking team waste
His stuff is good. Hey, we're 9-2 and he's a part of our team and as long as we're doing well I don't feel I should waste a lot of energy talking about him.
benefits compete experience gets great loves start
He's going to start in Triple-A. The experience is great for him. The more experience he gets at this level, he benefits from it. He loves to compete and he's not intimidated too much.
days gone good played
He's gone out and played and had some good days and not so good days.
assuming knows program start step top
He's going to start to step up his program a little bit. He knows he has to start getting ready. He didn't actually say, 'I'm going to get on the top (of the mound),' but I'm assuming that he might. He probably will. We'll see.
handle knows pitching veteran
He's a veteran guy. He knows how to handle a pitching staff.
depends percent period season sidelines start sure throw
He's going to go out and throw and get loose. It depends how he feels. If you're 100 percent sure that he's OK, you do it. But if not, you don't want to start the season with someone aggravating something that sidelines them any period of time.
couple
He's going to be fine, just a couple of outings.
care deal permission personal
He's fine. Just like any other thing, he's got some personal things to deal with or whatever. He has permission to take care of it. It's fine.
exercises feeling healthy nice understand
He's been doing his exercises and maintaining his back exercises, and from what I understand he's feeling real strong. The thing I like more than anything is that everyone's pretty healthy and that's nice to see right now.
bouncing stuff
He was probably just bouncing around with exercises, stuff like that. His stomach's a little upset.
bottom erratic gathering himself line pitches seen
He was effectively erratic I guess. That was probably the most erratic we've seen him in a while. But the bottom line is he made pitches when he had to make them. Sometimes he may get out of sync, but he has a way of gathering himself when he has to.
ball fly nice
He was impressive. It was nice to see the ball fly out of his hand.
figure flexible loop
I already told Loop we're going to be flexible in that role, ... We'll see how it goes. It's not something that we can figure out because there's not enough time.
physically strong throw
He has to feel real strong physically and throw a little bit. You don't want to play around with a hamstring.
