Pettitte breezes through second Minors outing

TAMPA, Fla. -- Andy Pettitte has often said during this comeback process that
he wouldn't be surprised if things went well. He wouldn't have chosen to
return to the Majors if he didn't fully believe he was capable after all.

But after another nearly flawless outing with Class A Advanced Tampa on
Sunday afternoon, the 39-year-old lefty couldn't help but admit he's pleased
and relieved with his progress so far.

Pettitte threw four shutout innings Sunday in his second Minor League start
against the Clearwater Threshers at George M. Steinbrenner Field, giving up
two hits and no walks while striking out three. The Threshers only hit one
ball in the air -- a mishit popup to shallow right field -- as Pettitte
induced seven groundouts. He threw 31 of 47 pitches for strikes.

"Obviously, you know at this stage for me, any setback would cost you a
month, maybe, or so. I'm just happy that I'm progressing the way I am,"
Pettitte said. "I don't want to start talking too much about how great I feel
or whatever. I just want to get back up there, get ready and get back up
there with the guys and start going to battle with them."

Pettitte struck out two in a 16-pitch first inning, then breezed through the
second and third innings on eight and six pitches, respectively. He gave up
consecutive one-out singles in the fourth -- one on a high chopper to third
base, the other a ground ball up the middle -- before inducing an
inning-ending double play on a comebacker.

"Everything feels pretty good. Unless every pitch is perfect, I kind of get
frustrated with that," Pettitte said. "I felt like I cut a couple pitches
off, and of course you know at the big league level when you do that and
balls come back over the plate, that could cost you a little more than it
could down here. But these guys can hit it out just as good as anyone else
can to a certain degree."

His next start will come in five days, though he didn't know exactly where
that will be. Pettitte said he will "for sure" make starts with Double-A
Trenton before heading to the Majors, and he has been projected to join the
Yankees some time in May. The Tampa Yankees play in Daytona, Fla., on Friday
night, while the Trenton Thunder are at home.

Pettitte has progressed exactly as he expected to. After tossing a scoreless
Spring Training inning on April 4, he threw three strong innings for Tampa
last Monday on 32 pitches. He worked his way up to 47 on Sunday and should
increase his workload to 65 or 70 pitches on Friday.

"For a guy who hasn't pitched in a year, that's very impressive. He's
throwing strikes. Every pitch has worked. He's been confident," said Tampa
Yankees manager Luis Sojo, who played with Pettitte in the Bronx for parts of
seven seasons from 1996-2003. "I would be surprised if that was somebody
else. Andy is a very dedicated guy. He's very professional, and he wants to
come back for a reason. The reason is that he's feeling good.

"I don't know how hard he's throwing, but location-wise, the way he pitches,
same guy. Hasn't changed."

There is one potential negative consequence of his pitching so well in these
Minor League starts, though: Pettitte hasn't had to labor through the long,
stressful innings he will face against Major League lineups. But he has
gotten some work out of the stretch, doing so in the fourth inning Sunday but
especially in last Monday's outing. He said he would have liked to pitch from
the stretch more often, but he was "extremely happy" with the way he felt
overall.

"Right now, I feel good. I feel strong," Pettitte said. "I need to get to
where I can get into a game and feel comfortable where I can get into an
inning where I may have to throw 30 pitches, because that's going to happen.
That's stuff you can't duplicate. I need to get my body ready, and we're
going to take the time we need to get there.

"Things are good right now. Everything feels good. I felt really strong to
start the game. I can tell that I'm getting to where I need to be."


在週日下午的比賽，老派在4局完整的投球中，用了47球，其中31個好球，僅被高階1A對手
擊出2支零星安打，賞了3次三振，沒有保送，滾飛比為7比1。

下次比賽可能在週五面對2A的球隊，預計投65-70球，老派表示，依照目前計畫，可能在5
月可以回到大聯盟。


帥呀！老派！
