albert definitely distance home looked plate seeing stay
Albert was at home plate seeing if it would hook, but it looked like it was going to stay the whole way. The distance was definitely there.
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.
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.
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.
battle defense nights offense picked
My offense picked me up tonight, my defense picked me up tonight. You're going to have nights like that. You just battle through them.
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.
approach facing good guys happy hitters work
Those guys are pretty good hitters so you just have to approach it that way. I got my work in so I was happy about that. I was working just like I was facing the Orioles.
attacking believer firm sticking strengths until works
I'm a firm believer in you sticking with your strengths and what works for you. Until they show you they're going to make an adjustment, you keep attacking them the same way.
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.
game last might normal routine starting
They told me during last night's game that I might be starting today. I did my normal day before routine so I would be ready.
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.
days mistakes today
Some days your mistakes are going to be hit, some days you're going to get away with them. Today wasn't one of those days.
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.
ball beat games though thrown
Mentally, I feel great. You have games where you get beat even though you've thrown the ball well.
