He was throwing a lot of sliders in fastball counts and was almost effectively wild with his fastball. He got good movement on it, and he's always had a delivery where he hides the ball pretty well. You just don't really get a real good feeling on a certain spot, where he's going to throw the ball.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
Those games don't feel very good. You usually have one or two a spring. That doesn't mean they feel any better. Defensively, offensively, the whole bit, just a lousy day.Bob Melvin
It was good to see him from the second inning on really have all his pitches. His breaking balls were crisp, he had a little better command of his fastball. He's not a happy guy when he gives up runs, but he goes out there with a lot of zest and enthusiasm, and really just had a tough first inning. The good ones don't let innings affect them.

His presence on the mound looks different. He just looks much more assured of himself out there. One, he's probably in a role that's much better suited for him and, two, he's had some success. That breeds confidence.

Kelly's done well. It's going to have to be an organizational decision that we'll have to talk about after the season. Kelly has certainly done enough to deserve a look to come back. It depends on what kind of roster space we have at the end of the year.
