More Quotes from Bob Melvin:

I thought Padilla, early on, had as good stuff as I'd seen. I mean, he was throwing 96 miles an hour and had good sink and then just started getting wild with it. I thought we were in for a tough time early on.

I think it bothers him more so in the field than at the plate. It's when he slows down or takes off or when he dives for a ball and hits it wrong, those are the times you see it. He's had to play with it all year and some days it's better than others. We've tried to monitor it and give him a day off when he needs a day off. The way he's swinging right now, it's hard to give him a day off.
Bob Melvin
It's good that he gets the fruits of his labor. Nobody works harder than he does.
Bob Melvin
You could see he wasn't real sharp with his command early on and we were trying to get his pitch count up and make him work hard. And we did.
