He looks like he's coming after you.

It's fun to watch. They look aggressive. They don't look like they're tentative.

I think the kid can take to this job. He shows the calmness. He shows an inner strength that I really like, plus he has a plus-fastball. Guys don't look real comfortable hitting off him.

It's a nice problem to have.

It's just more conducive to staying healthy.

He shows a calmness and an inner strength that I really like. He was pitching in the eighth inning last year with some success. He seems like he relishes the [closer] role. His face lights up. He's confident, and it's all about confidence, the whole gig.

He told me he could go 25 more pitches. That's where I want them all on Opening Day.

Even the guys out of the 'pen are doing it. They're coming at you, putting hitters on the defensive.

Once they get to 70 pitches, I like to have them repeat it, and that's what Joe did today. It's easier to do it there [on a back field] because there isn't the strain and stress.
