Everything looked normal for him, his fastball velocity, everything was good. He just lacked location. He had trouble getting the ball on the inner half. He's the type of pitcher that has to establish inside to those right-handers and he was having trouble with it. He just wasn't sharp. That's kind of expected when you miss a week or two of competition.
More Quotes from Von Hayes:
It's amazing. Here I thought guys were going to be really tired. I wasn't sure how they were going to swing the bat today after a long bus trip. We got in about 430 in the morning (Saturday) night. We didn't take any batting practice. We just took a little infield, went out there and played. It's incredible the way they swung the bat.Von Hayes
The kid definitely threw a great game. He's got good stuff. He got four pitches over. He worked very quickly. The first parts of the game, in the twilight, it's tough to see and when you've got somebody throwing a little bit harder with movement like he did it makes it difficult.

He's added body strength and his fastball has a little more life in it which sets up all his other pitches. He's got a tremendous arsenal. Tonight he pitched well. I can't wait until he gets to 90-100 pitch counts because right now we're using too many people.

He was struggling right of out of spring training with coming back for the third year in Double-A. When he got off to the slow start I think he was just questioning his passion for the game. His main decision was he wanted to spend more time with his family and move on to a different livelihood. We have to deal with it and wish him well.
Von Hayes
It doesn't seem like we have anybody right now who will come in and take control of the game. They're struggling with their command and other teams are taking advantage of it. San Antonio was coming in with a nine-game losing streak and you know they weren't going to go away easily. But you still have to make pitches.
