Buddy Bell Threw Quotations

He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.

Both of them looked like they threw free and easy. Now we're trying to figure out what we're going to do with Bautista -- whether we're going to send him to the Instructional League or whether we're going to have another simulated game for him before the Instructional League.

This is getting really old. We literally did some bad things -- getting picked off, doubled off. The kid pitched a good game, but he threw to the same place the whole game and we didn't make adjustments. You've got to have the courage to make adjustments, to live with a plan. It is frustrating.

It might be earlier than that. He threw good and had no problem with his knees. Now he's more or less going through Spring Training.

It might have been the play of the game when he threw behind Everett,

He threw the ball well. He had good velocity on his fastball and a good breaking ball. He was impressive.

Howell was awesome. He threw everything pretty much where he wanted to,
