It's amazing how you can catch my eye by throwing strikes.

I didn't like it that our guys threw so many balls. They were all throwing strikes pitching in the bullpen. It is amazing what happens when you put a hitter at the plate.

Jeff came in and threw strikes. He competed. And he's versatile, too. He can start, he can relieve, he can spot-start.

He was so-so. He struggled with his command and didn't throw a lot of strikes. He was behind a lot of hitters.

J.J has pitched well. He got a bit excited when he got two strikes on Newhan and he started to overthrow. Then he threw a good low third strike.

I said, 'I'm afraid he'll try to catch it in his hip pocket,'
