We knew what he was capable of doing at the big league level. He's still a developing player, and I feel in my heart that he benefitted from getting four at-bats a day in Scranton vs. being on the bench here at the beginning of the season.
"Ed Wade" is the former General Manager of the Houston Astros and previously the Philadelphia Phillies.
More Ed Wade on Wikipedia.He said it bothered him a little bit in San Francisco and then he felt it in his next start. (Trainer Jeff Cooper) thinks he?ll be fine to pitch again this season, but we aren?t sure when.
He?s had one of those years where he had some high spots and some low spots. There was talk of starting (Pedro) Liriano, but with his health issues (a stomach ailment that cost him nearly a month of action) he isn?t stretched out enough. It?s good that the game falls on Gavin?s day to pitch.
Way to go, boys!
There were a lot of things out there that made me fairly certain that there would be rough spots. Still, to me, I thought some of the stuff was absolutely bizarre.
I think dignity is the right word. I think Charlie has enough self-confidence in how to coach and handle people, and the players took their cues from him.
We would sit there after games or the next day and talk about different situations, ... and at times we?d invariably get around to the criticism. Charlie would just laugh it off. His feeling was, ?I know what I?m doing and I?m not going to let it get to me.?
I've talked to players before about - you can't turn this around. It has to be about the fans. People have a right to boo.
