braves gonna series start team year
It's a big series to start the year and let them know we're for real. The Braves are still the team to beat. You want to come out and play hard, and you want to let them know that we're not gonna go anywhere.

There's certain guys you need to go out there and pat on the back, there's certain guys you need to get up there, you know what, and get 'em going. Every guy has a different personality.

There's always people out there that are hating, I guess. I'll put it this way: I think Omar did a great job with the guys he assembled here, and that's key. Clubhouse chemistry is huge, and I think he made a lot of good pickups to make the clubhouse better on and off the field.

It's the third time I've done it. It doesn't feel weird any more.
