Larry Rothschild Threw Quotations

I think what was fast was the amount he threw off flat ground and how much better he felt.

He stood up and threw without putting a lot of pressure on the knee. Just basically tossing 90 balls to keep the motion and looseness through the shoulder.

He threw some breaking balls today -- we're really concentrating more on building arm strength. We'll spin the ball some, but I don't really worry about the breaking ball as much as some other pitches until the arm strength gets built up. Those things will come back.

He threw off the mound toward the end, really just to get him up on the hill and get used to the slope again and get his balance and things like that right.

He threw all his pitches, and it was as close to a normal routine as I have seen.

He threw about 12 pitches off the mound and a bunch off flat ground. It's pretty amazing to watch.
