Ron Gardenhire Throw Quotations

Guys aren't ready to throw every day. Guys aren't ready to throw four or five innings.

Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.

We want to bring him along slowly. He can be a pretty dominating pitcher out of the bullpen the way we've seen him throw in spring training. And we could put him in situations where he can go out and not have too much pressure on him.

Trying to throw out guys at home plate when we should be keeping the double play, ... It's the mental part of the game, and that's where we have to toughen up again. We're going to put forth a big effort.

Our concern is, how many guys are we going to have to throw our games? We've got two split-squad games early, and now we're losing another pitcher.

Oh my, ... If you're going to give up a homer, you might as well give it up like that. That was a long one. The fan couldn't even throw it back on the field.

It was good to see Kyle Lohse throw the ball good. He located it. He didn't try to overdo it.

In this league, you're going to get hammered if you just throw fastballs.

Garza did fine. He's got a nice-looking arm. He's going to be a nice-looking pitcher. It's nice to get to see the young man throw the ball. You like to put faces with names.

All he can do is go out and throw the baseball, ... You have to think of where Radke is at. He has been our No. 1 starter for how many years? When you're the No. 1 starter, who are you facing? You're facing the other teams' No. 1, No. 2 starter pretty much the whole year.

The game turns. They throw a barrage at you. They have guys who can slap the ball and guys who can put it into the seats. They have guys who can do everything.
