dictate knows mound needs ready schedules wants whatever
We're going to let Pedro pretty much dictate when he's ready to get on the mound or do whatever he wants to do. We're going to let him take his time. He's a veteran. He knows what he needs to do. We don't need to put any schedules on him because that can always change.
bullpen looks
We're going to keep him in the bullpen. I like the way the bullpen looks right now.
front guys might
There are other guys who might be in front of him, anyway.
bullpen early
It was still early. You don't want to go to your bullpen that early if you don't have to.
early individual start talking
It's way too early to even start even talking about individual games. Just let them play.
assets backup certain early finish gives grind nice played swinging
He's a guy, overall, that gives us more assets in that spot. Miguel played well for us early in the year, and he can always go out there and grind and claw and do certain things. But he did come here to be backup guy. If Kaz can finish up strong, the way he's swinging right now, it would be nice for us.
ahead anytime deep early guys hat pitcher tip
Anytime you go deep on a pitcher in early BP like this, you've got to tip your hat to them, because those guys are way ahead of us.
early indoors needs pound routine work
Pedro does a lot of his work indoors anyway. We wanted him to not pound as much early on in camp, but he's going to work into his routine and do what he needs to do.
anyone change early
This is why we don't anoint anyone early in camp. Things change, and they may change again.
muscle pull
Pull a muscle in the on-deck circle, how do you do that?
talked wants
He wants to be the best. We've talked a lot about his approach.
spit sure taste
I just told them to make sure they don't like the taste they have in their mouth, that they spit it out right away,
comforting glad wants
It's very comforting to have him. He wants to be the best, and we're glad to have him.
concerned second worried
It's only his second start. I'm not concerned or worried about it.
