He gets himself in trouble if his arm doesn't get up where it's supposed to be, and he ends up leading himself to home plate with his elbow. You may throw from a slope downhill but, because of the position of your elbow, you're pushing the ball out of your hand uphill -- and, when you do that, the ball will go up.

You've got to give Victor Santos credit. For me, that's as well as he pitched since he put on this uniform.Jim Tracy
He threw way too many pitches last night, with 100-plus still trying to get through five innings, ... But he's getting plenty of seasoning this year. He has exceeded expectations for a Rule 5 Draft pick. Is he a stone-cold lock to make the starting rotation in 2006 No. Is he a candidate Sure he is.

I'm glad we got out of it without anyone getting hurt.

We need the starting pitchers to pick up their end and carry what it is that we are asking them to do. Nothing more than that. There are no unexpected expectations at all. Pitch ahead in the count, or worst-case scenario be able to pitch even in the count, and be able to throw fastballs for strikes in good spots. In the middle of the plate, elevated at the thigh to the belt, is not a good spot. It's a very bad spot.

If you want to swing off of live pitching, go right ahead. But recognize the fact of what a strike is and what a ball is. Let's get a good swing at a good pitch.
Jim Tracy
I thought our pitching was actually pretty good. I thought Victor Santos had a good day's work. He got the ball up a little bit and didn't pitch ahead in the count as much as you'd like to see, but he did all right.
