We were just excited about his stuff. We have a situation in the front end of our bullpen where we needed some people, and Luke pretty much fit that bill stuff-wise. I knew of him in Colorado when I was there a little bit.
More Quotes from Buddy Bell:
Any time you're in a situation like J.P. is you want every outing to be a good one. I hope to think we're smarter than to put everything on one outing.

He pitched as well today as he did in Chicago. It's a big lift for us. Those last two teams he's faced are not slouches. His tempo was outstanding. I like his tempo. Last year his tempo was slow.

There were some things we needed him to do as far as his conditioning. We needed him to maintain his stuff, which he has. But his command has not been good. We're kind of giving him the benefit of the doubt. A lot of times, big-league guys go to Triple-A and don't pitch that well. We need him to give us a lift. He's a big-league guy.

I think all their command was off, which is pretty typical. We're going to have to deal with lack of command for a while, as most of the Rangers pitchers were dealing with it, too. I don't pay much attention to it. Having them to be able to repeat their delivery is going to take some time. As far as results, I don't pay a whole lot of attention the first week to 10 days.
