He throws 10 pitches (during the game), and then he's in the conditioning room for an hour and he's just rolling in to the clubhouse when the game is over. He's put in that much work to maintain his body. He doesn't take his body for granted. That's why he's so good. That's why he's had longevity.

We haven't seen any signs of Sunny having the form that he had last year. We talked [on Saturday]. To me, it's not a mechanics issue. I think he's kind of lost in what he's trying to do, as far as how he wants to execute each pitch. It's not coming naturally.

He can feel the difference between where he wants to be and where he's been. But it's not coming naturally yet, and until that happens, we still have a ways to go. The arm strength, the ability to do it is still there. But until he can subconsciously do it instead of consciously try to do it, then you're going to see the inconsistencies.

We just don't want any setbacks.

I thought of it more with Jason in mind (than other starters), but I talked to all of them and they love it. We can't keep doing the same thing over and over again. We know we have to improve over what we have done in the past.

The bullpen is something we have talked about since I've been here. Last year, we went with younger arms and it showed.

He showed me his slider was his command pitch. I told him, 'You get behind in the count, throw it anyway.' He started throwing the breaking ball with the fastball.

It wasn't anything I said or we said. If that were the case, I'd say it all the time. I'd call them every afternoon and leave it on their answering machines.

He has improved as a person, as a professional. He is so much better prepared. He minimizes mistakes, knows what he has done wrong when he does it. He's essentially become his own pitching coach.

Aaron isn't afraid of confrontations. He has come so far in the last couple years. Before, he seemed to be pitching away from contact, trying to miss bats. That guy has vanished. Now, he pitches with the confidence that the batter can't get to it.

He's attacking the strike zone.

One day he was the setup guy, next day he was the closer. There wasn't that analysis of him -- is he going to be able to handle the role?

He's had a closer mentality in his preparation even when he was a middle setup guy.

I talked to them (Sunday) and I talked to them (Saturday) and stressed to them that every inning is important. We are not able to coast.
