Daily News | Command issues again plague Phillies’ Griff McGarry in rough spring debut
“That’s not how you want to start spring training,” McGarry said.
McGarry loaded the bases on two walks and a single by Justin Turner, then walked Rob Refsnyder to force in a run. He fell behind Arroyo, too, before allowing the homer over the Red Sox’s faux Green Monster. McGarry insisted he wasn’t nervous for his first Grapefruit League appearance. It’s just a mechanical glitch that happens to him from time to time. The key will be correcting it before it mushrooms.“I’ve been standing right behind him [in the bullpen], and he’s throwing strikes with all his pitches,” Thomson said. “So, he can do it. Just a matter of slowing everything down, and next time out, I’m sure he’ll be better.
