Bobby Cox Throw Quotations

We thought it was a tired arm before. He's been throwing the ball really well. We thought we were over that.

We didn't want to have Boyer throw back-to-back. But we've got to get arms in here that can do that.

It's one thing to throw it out here and another to throw it in a game. But it's coming.

You have to tip your hat to Roger Clemens, ... He came in throwing the way he did, on a couple of days rest. He did a remarkable job.

If he throws like that, he's got a chance to win 30.

He's throwing really well. He's taken over the closer's role right now, and he's good. He's got a good fastball, good breaking ball. He's throwing strikes. He's made our bullpen stronger.

You've got to remember you've got to pitch in the first inning, not just throw. It's not a throwing contest. You've got to pitch. I looked at every single replay, and every one of them was right down the middle, belt high.

That was like the old days -- the old hookups with two outstanding pitchers. (Hudson) had his 'A' game going tonight. You can't possibly throw any better than he threw tonight. He just placed the ball exactly where he wanted to with live stuff. This one was special.

I think Tommy is better than he ever was. I really mean that. He throws inside now and you just can't hit him.

He's pitching as well as anyone we have this spring. He's throwing harder than he did when we got him last spring.

He could hit a little and throw a little. He was always funny, a guy you wanted to have on your team.

He can't throw for a little bit longer. It's going to be a while before Kelly can really play in a game.

Every once in a while he tries to overthrow out there. He throws 100 (mph) instead of pitching.

Most umpires are good about letting the argument go, but you can only go on for so long, or go so far. If you don't leave it alone after a minute or two, you're in trouble. They want to keep the game moving, so they've got to throw you out. I had trouble leaving it alone, I guess.

Bennett had a little elbow problem in the early throwing program.
