bad breaking delivery good hopefully pitch pump repeat sit throw trouble trying work worked
We filmed him and worked with him. I don't know. I think he's just going to have to repeat his delivery better. He's not doing that. He'll throw one good pitch and two bad ones. He's having real trouble with his breaking ball. You can't sit there and pump fastballs in this league. But he's trying to work through it. Hopefully we can get him back where he was.
barry start throws
Patrick throws strikes, and that's what you want in that role. Barry will start there for now.
confident early fall funny poor throw work
He's real confident and I'm real confident about him. It's funny how things work out sometimes. He had a poor fall and really poor early spring. But you don't throw it by him anymore.
charge pick shake
We're going to really have to pick it up to make a charge for a regional. It's all going to shake out on the field.
hard last memphis team
Memphis is a much-improved team. We're not the last team they're going to give a hard time.
along assume mike pitch ready rotation talked
I said all along that if he was not going to be ready to assume his rightful place in the rotation than we wouldn't pitch him, and that's what we decided. I talked with Mike and his family, and everybody's in agreement.
ball caught good middle
We caught the ball and had good middle relief. Those were the keys.
earlier fixed playing
You'd like everything to be fixed right now, but it's not. ... We were playing better earlier than we are right now.
build ground
We've got to build on this. We've still got a lot of ground to cover.
bats good pitching starting starts swung time
We got good starting pitching every time out. We swung the bats pretty good, but it all starts on that mound.
allow arm believe bring extra fair felt few fully gain half needed pitch season seasons strength time weeks
He is still a few weeks away from being able to pitch effectively. We felt that he needed to take the extra time and fully allow his arm to gain strength before he pitched. I also believe it wasn't fair to him to bring him back for half a season when he can come back and pitch two full seasons at full strength.
baseball ends frustrated pitching starts
I'm as frustrated as I've ever been in coaching. Baseball starts with pitching and ends with pitching, and we didn't get any.
happy wrong
If you ever don't see him smiling, something's wrong because the guy's happy every day of his life.
good guys problem room trying
I've got a lot of guys doing well. We're trying to find enough room to get guys in the lineup. It's a good problem to have.
