I don't have anything for you. He took two pitches and hit them good. Other than that there is nothing I can say.
I didn't want to leave an off-speed pitch over the plate. He'd hit two off-speed pitches out. But, I expected to close today.
I didn't make very many good pitches in the second inning,
I didn't make good pitches with two outs. They came up with some clutch hits.
I didn't go out and execute two pitches. You have to go out and execute any pitches you make.
He's a location and change of speeds pitcher. It takes a little time during the spring to get all of your pitches going and get comfortable with them. He's doing good.
He's a little bit behind some of the other people, but the quality of his pitches are there. Now, it's about mechanics and not rushing.
He?s a lefty that was spotting well and throwing all three pitches for strikes. We have a pretty aggressive lineup, and a guy like that is going to give you problems because you can get yourself out. Just a lot of arms and legs coming at you.
He's a kid that's got four pitches for strikes. When you can do that you can be effective. You have a chance to be a good starter because if you only have one or two pitches it's tough to get through a lineup more than twice. But he's a kid who has pretty good command of four pitches.
He's always been good against us. Every time he pitches against us, he pitches tough.
