I want their bodies and legs in good shape. I expect the relievers to come to the park every day ready to pitch. Most of our roles are defined, and the basic role is to pitch. If you're called upon, you go out and pitch. So I expect the bullpen to prepare on a daily basis and be ready.
Starters prepare differently.
They prepare physically for three or four days. Then mentally, they have to get ready for the game. So I expect them to go into the game having done all the physical work as a starter, but they have to do a lot of extra mental stuff the day of the game. I make suggestions to my staff and see that all of them are on the same page with me. Then I might go to a player and back up what the coach has told him.
