atlanta ball behind bit easier enjoy everybody field game knew pitcher played quick
I always wanted to get off the field as quick as I could. It's easier for everybody and it's more fun. I played behind Maddux a little bit (in Atlanta in 1998-99) and you knew that on any pitch, the (hitter) was going to put the ball in play. You enjoy the game a little bit more when you have a pitcher like that.

believe faith god heat patience people stayed thank trust
I have faith in him, and I make him believe we trust him and believe in him. He was so insecure. The thing about Jose was he didn't want to let people down. We had a lot of patience with him - he'd take a lot of heat, I'd take a lot of heat - and thank God we stayed with him.
last remember time
I don't even remember the last time he pitched,
