barry came good help knee knows month pleased tells
We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing. You can't help but be pleased that he came here, he did some good stuff, he left, and we'll see how it is tomorrow.

He threw today in the back field and felt much better than yesterday.
came dugout himself injury tells unable
He said something to me in the dugout and wanted to go back out. It stiffened up out there, and he came in and immediately said he's unable to go. For Moises to take himself out of the lineup, that tells you it's a significant injury right from the beginning.
against among best competing days injured league reality teams
Actually, we were 10th in the league in days missed. And while that is unacceptable -- traditionally we've been among the best -- the reality was, in our division, we were competing against teams more injured than we were.
midst serious testing tomorrow
I don't know how serious it is. We're still in the midst of it. We're doing some testing and will know more tomorrow afternoon.
