Gibby on MLB radio
- Drawn crowds really well all year, though they have be frusturated for the most part. Continued to support throughout though.
- Continue to play steady baseball for remainder of the year.
- Wang only made two starts, but has been great.
- Rogers been as good as anybody. Were scrambling until Rogers emerged, said he wanted to start. Has been dominating, not good.
- Was a large void in rotation until Rogers/Wang stepped up.
- JJ was as good as anybody in spring training, was locked in. New guy on new team, was ready to go. Got off to slow start - victimized by poor defense. Then a sore arm. First outing back in SF, lost 2-1, thought he was back. Last 2/3 starts he's looked really good.
- Morrow - setback, but doesnt think surgery. Tenderness in forearm. Velocity was down, so came out of MLB rotation. Nothing from MRI jumps out to doctors. Back him off, let him rest for awhile, and let inflamation settle down.
- Reyes in Buffalo this weekend, revaluate after weekend. Running good, hit a triple and stole a few bases. Tonight will be first night he has played 9 innings. Not going to rush him back, make sure timing is right.
- Hard to say on roster when Reyes comes back. Bullpen has been so strong lately. BP was getting beat up early, with rotation getting touched up. Tried to cover some innings with 8 man bullpen. Make sure they guard themselves on the safe side with bullpen - probably a position player going down when Reyes comes back.
- Cecil, a starter who won 15 games. Lost his fastball a little bit, scrambling to find it. Jumped on weighted ball program like Delabar, regained the velo on his fastball. Out of options in ST, were set to take best guy out of ST. Cecil was that guy. Crucial guy out of pen, working in vital roles. Great competitior, loves success. Lost his perfect game streak to IBB - Gibby appologized after, wasn't aware.
- Lind has been huge. Always been able to hit, when he was drafted, was because he could hit. Had some good years previous. Wasn't sure if he would platoon or be everyday guy. Wanted to give DeRosa/Davis AB's early. Lind started hitting lefty's, so kept with it. Always been a good hitter.
- Chris Davis, we walked him every chance we could. Smart thing to do when you can. They have some kinda offense. A really good team, the whole division is really good. Both teams hot, should make for a good series. Nice weekend would go a long way for the club.
