I cannot think of anyone I would rather have handling my money, contracts, or my career. Many times doing what is right for the player gets lost in the sports-management industry.
I'm going to hear it from Oscar when we get back to camp.
I'm going to get it from him when I get back to camp.
I like beating everybody, not just the Mets, ... It just so happens that we play them late in the season a lot every year and we've had some meaningful games.
The fine line is getting him to stay aggressive in the strike zone. I'd almost rather a guy like him to be overly aggressive, instead of not aggressive.
The first professional uniform I put on 16 years ago was a Braves uniform, and I wanted to try to make sure its my last. I want to retire as a Brave, but more importantly, I knew this was something that could help continue the winning tradition we've built and our quest to bring our fans another world championship.
The guy still knows how to pitch. He's not throwing 96 (mph) like used to, but he's sinking it, he's cutting it, he's changing speeds on us.
These guys may not experience success right away like our group did. But before they're said and done, they might have a bigger impact on the success of this organization.
This is almost better than the first time. Or at least as good.
And I don't think they've reached their full potential.
You can't print what I said, but they have to catch us.
You can't overlook the accomplishments of this team over the last six months. No one expected us to be here.
I'm surprised he threw the ball between the two dugouts. He was jacked up!
He's far and away, I think, the MVP of this league.
