Cooper puts the pitching staff on notice

Cowley:

“Lack of conditioning, lack of preparation makes cowards of us all. “We’re going to make sure that conditioning and preparation is getting done.’ … The players have to take some pride. The best motivation for anyone ready to go in spring comes from inside. We’re asking Bobby to raise the bar. Bobby is a big dude that sometimes may look like he’s not in shape. He needs to raise the bar. I tell them all, ‘I need you in the best shape of your life come spring training, physically and mentally.’ We’re challenging these guys.”
