expect guys nervous playing start
I was nervous before, but once you get out there and start playing baseball, it's not that big of a deal. That's the big thing for us young guys is to feel comfortable out there. Now that I do I expect more of myself.
fun guys trying win
It's fun because a lot of young guys have come up in this division. We're all trying to do the same thing, and that's win a title.
guys knock people won
We've won 14 in a row, and people always want to knock you off. You use that as motivation. You don't want to be the guys who lose.
front guys pitcher rather rookie
When you've got guys like Andruw (Jones), Chipper (Jones), Julio (Franco) and Marcus (Giles) in front of you, you have some RBI chances. A pitcher doesn't want to pitch to those guys. He'd rather pitch to a rookie any day.
guy heck might sure swing thinking
He might think, What the heck did that guy just swing at? But he's not going to say it to you when you come back. I'm sure he's thinking it.
guys players rag
I know I'm going to take some jabs from the players for this, ... It's part of the deal. ... Between these guys and my family, they're going to rag me and keep me humble.
bobby fans fires gets love seemed
Bobby always fires us up. You know how the fans are with Bobby, they love him to death. When he gets going, they get going. It just seemed perfect.
hurt tender
Doc said I was real lucky. About a centimetre over it could have been broken, so I feel fortunate. It hurt bad. At first, it's such a tender bone, it just hurt so much.
blows john starting starts team
That's the thing that blows me away, ... I'm 7 years old when this thing starts happening. John Smoltz is one of their starting pitchers. Now here I am, on the team myself, and John's still here. I told him that's when you start to think about retiring.
enjoy mickey wore
Mickey Mantle wore it, ... I just enjoy it.
ball confidence felt game gives good gotten great hit honest solid
It felt good just to hit a ball solid like that. To feel it go out of the stadium, to be honest with you, kind of gives you the confidence that you can play the game again. It would have been great if we could have gotten the win.
situation tough trying worse
I think she's in a tough situation with what she's trying to do. I don't think she was worse than the others, I don't think she was better.
break threw throw tough
I thought he would go to first. It was a break for us that he threw it a little high. It's a tough throw for any pitcher.
good maybe realize walk win
Maybe in the long run, this is going to be good for us. Maybe it's a wakeup call, and we'll realize we're not just going to walk out there and win it.
