He's had little flashes where he looks like a big-league pitcher again. But he knows his command is not where he wants it to be.

It was better than the last one. He spotted the ball exceptionally well and kept the ball down, throwing all of his pitches.

He was huge. He was ridiculously important [to the team]. This guy went out and all of a sudden he jumps in and he expected to work into the seventh every night.

(Hitters) know when guys are really cheesing it up there in the 98s, 97s, they know that, so they know how to get it ready a little bit earlier where they're cheating on fastballs.

He threw threw the crap out of the ball in that pen. We have to wait to see how he is today, but right now I'd be very surprised if he doesn't make the start Saturday.

We're hoping to go five innings, and 15-pitch innings to get him up to 75 pitches,
