Jesse Crain is Probably Human

The Star Tribune mentioned a small thing about Jesse Crain coming back from surgery. He threw off the mound against hitters for the first time, but it seemed Gardenhire could hardly care less and barely was able to form an opinion.

"He looked normal, like he was letting it go, and the ball was coming out really well," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We have a long ways to go. There could be setbacks, but the first day was good."

To me it just sounds like he's saying:
Crain looked human. It looked like he was throwing a ball when he was throwing a ball, but then again he might not have been. Things might be different tomorrow.

Of course, Gardenhire had other things on his mind like the batting order, but that's been a painful process and he still seems to struggle with the basic understanding of how it works:

"You better have somebody behind [Morneau]..."

It is unclear if he was talking to reporters or himself.
