average bench care chance consistency felt fifth fun guy knew last matter provide sitting somebody watching win younger
In Atlanta, the fifth guy was always a younger guy who would get skipped. It didn't provide that guy the consistency he needed. Here, the last two years you knew no matter who got the ball, you had a better than average chance to win a game. It made it a lot more fun sitting on the bench watching somebody else pitch. I think they felt the same way. We care about how each other does. There's no segregation.
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.
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.
enjoy game help helps hitting win
I enjoy hitting and anything I can do to help win the game helps the team.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ball beat games though thrown
Mentally, I feel great. You have games where you get beat even though you've thrown the ball well.
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.
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.
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.
