balls quick throwing top
I thought I was on top of my game. I was a little quick early, throwing the balls a little too down in the zone, but I was able to make the adjustments.
ball beat games though thrown
Mentally, I feel great. You have games where you get beat even though you've thrown the ball well.
ball blowing carry change depends extra open stadium wind
I think the ball may have a little extra carry on it. It just depends on how the wind is blowing. Any open stadium will do that: Blowing in or blowing out, it's going to change the effect.
ball bat behind coming guy happen trying
I was just trying to put the bat on the ball and make something happen with the big guy coming up behind me.
bad balls early hole left position team win
I put my team in a hole early and couldn't get out of it. Didn't do my job. I left a lot of balls up in the zone. They made me pay. ... I put my team in a bad position to win this game.
allowed arm balls early good life quick slot tempo work zone
I really had a good tempo with my delivery, which allowed me to work balls down in the zone and have life on the ball. It allowed me to get a lot of quick outs early and get my arm in a good slot every other pitch.
ball bat behind coming guys job trying
I'm just trying to put the bat on the ball and make something happen. Obviously, with the big guys coming up behind me, it's their job to get it done. I'm up there just to try and make something happen.
felt foot good hit sixth
I started off on the right foot and hit a little snag. I got back to it in the sixth and felt good overall.
aggressive count early good guys nine obviously pitch pitches quality streak thinking throw time today work
I wasn't really thinking about it. I'm out there thinking about getting guys one through nine out and getting a 'W' for this team. The streak he had was nice, but obviously it has to end sometime. I know he's a pretty aggressive hitter. Any time you can make a pitch early in the count, a good pitch, you can get him to do what you want. He doesn't usually work the count pretty deep. We were able to throw some quality pitches on him today and get success.
job pay pitches zone
I was up in the zone and they made me pay for the pitches that I didn't get down. I didn't do my job tonight.
enjoy game help helps hitting win
I enjoy hitting and anything I can do to help win the game helps the team.
good innings overall third
For two innings I thought I did a pretty good job. I got a little fatigued in the third inning. They were out there swinging, but overall I thought it went pretty good.
believe braves bring bruce effective moss since starters steve table tough
Since the Braves rarely, if ever give up effective starters (see Bruce Chen , Damian Moss , Steve Avery , etc.) it's tough to believe that Marquis will bring much to the table in his post-Atlanta years.
balanced bullpen series
To get to the World Series and the NLCS, you have to have a balanced team. That's just not the rotation; it's the bullpen as well.
