against approach believe chasing doubt everybody game good people played wants worry
Everybody is chasing us, everybody wants to play good against us. No doubt about it. We have to take the same approach as we have in the past. We have to play the game the way we've always played the game. Don't believe the hype. You have to go there and play the game and not worry about what people think.
baseball bench bobby cox everybody manager says
Every manager in baseball does what I did. The day after you clinch, you play your bench guys. (Atlanta manager) Bobby Cox does it and he's a genius. I do it and everybody says I don't know what I'm doing.
everybody games guy players
We have a lot of games to go and not that many players in camp. Everybody will get a legit chance. The guy who can pinch-hit and play once in a while, he will take the job.

I think right now it's time to turn it up another notch. It's time to refuel the batteries and go for it. This month is real important to us. The first 15 days are real important for us. Hopefully we can go there and we believe we can do that and hopefully everybody on my team thinks the same way I think.

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.
arm attack best confidence everybody game guys kid matter months pitching strikes throw time town win won
Two months ago everybody wanted to kill this kid and get him out of town because he was pitching horrible. Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.

I told them 2005 is over and 2006 is coming on. Just be ready to play because we are going to be a target for everybody in baseball.

Everybody boos A.J. wherever he goes. He loves that because it pumps him up. I think every time they boo this kid, it makes him a better player.

It's a thing when we lose a game, I'm in my office for another hour when everybody goes home. I sit an hour to figure out what we did wrong. ... When we win, I'm the happiest man. When we lose, I get sick.

He gives the team a chance to refuel, to get back to playing the way we played early in the season, ... Everybody knows how important this kid is for us, for the type of game we play.
