John Gibbons Threw Quotations

That just tells you something about Dave Bush, because he threw 100 pitches the other day.

It's in the same area he had the problem last year. He only threw a few pitches and we shut him down.

He was dynamite, he had it all. His fastball, he threw a good breaking-ball, then his change-up. He threw from behind in the count. He's pitching beyond his age, that's for sure.

He did a good job, he threw strikes.

It's that same area where he had that problem last year. So he only threw a few pitches and shut it down. After you have an injury, it might just be some scar tissue.

I suppose we could bring him back and let him pitch in Boston (next week) but he only threw 32 pitches the other day (against Triple-A Syracuse) and I don't think he'll throw a whole lot more (Thursday). I like keeping him on track to pitch on the 16th (at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago) without messing it up.

He came back and threw strong. He wasn't as sharp as he usually is, but he had almost two weeks off. He's fine. He's healthy.
