He made some big pitches when he had to. He gave us almost seven good innings despite the walks. It’s the kind of game that should help his confidence.

You hate to say don’t worry about the winning or losing, but if kids are pitching at the major league level at an early stage, maybe before they should be, it’s important that they learn....

Hopefully, it’ll be another pitch that’s a lot more usable for him. It can be a serviceable pitch, something that might be able to get him a few easy outs over the course of a...

Gavin sometimes thinks too much about mechanics. He’s naturally talented and sometimes thinks about where all the pieces are instead of being aggressive.

You hate to say it, but there’s a bit of a breaking in period, during when a guy gets needs a break, to pitch a good game and get good results, and the confidence grows....

If the game is way up or way down, he can pretty much put on his loafers. He’s going to be a big piece in tight games to bridge the gap between the starters, Arthur...

That starts right here [pointing to his heart]. You have to have the confidence and the conviction in throwing that pitch. He’s got the stuff to get Major League hitters [out].

He’s in a battle with everybody and the inventory we have. Geoff made some big strides. He pitched down a lot better and came up with a sinking fastball and a slider to go along...

I don’t know about that, yet. We’ll see how he comes along. [Tuesday] is going to be his first game competing, and we can get him in a controlled environment, watch him and protect him,...

As far as presence, both of them had a good presence out there and both look comfortable out there. I was impressed with both of them going out there for the first time in a...

We’re hoping to see a little more consistency. Hopefully, the breaking ball will continue to get better. But his command and consistency are something we’d like to see improve.
