debate facing hitters pitchers question teams
That's always been a question for debate. I think pitchers never like to go back-to-back facing teams but that hitters sometimes feel like they have a better idea of what they're going to see.
everybody good guys intention personal ready spot takes team themselves trying winning
You have a lot of guys who have kind of been there and know what it takes to have a winning team. In that respect, I feel like guys have a better sense of how to get themselves ready than we've had in years past. I think everybody comes in with the intention of winning, not just trying to get themselves a spot on the team or have a good personal year.

Everybody did something. That's a big part of our team this year, everybody's going to carry the load.
carry everybody fact game nobody plays rely team time type year
Everybody did something, and that's a big part of our team this year -- the fact that we're going to rely on everybody and nobody has to carry the load.

far feels help situation talking teammates
Just in talking to (Burnett), he feels like he's in a better situation now as far as teammates and things like that and that makes it a lot easier. I think that's going to help him.
familiar seventh sixth
In May, the sixth and seventh inning comes and you are familiar with it. You don't feel tired. It makes a big difference.
base games pitching regardless score seems somehow tough
They've got a tough lineup. They make you work, regardless of what the score is. It just seems like they have long at-bats, somehow they get on base and it's one of those games where I was pitching out of a lot of jams.

I had some time off to rest and haven't had any problems ever since then. It's kind of disappeared this winter so that's nice.
along chance couple excited good guys involved similar staff
It was nice, especially for him. We're pretty similar and it was good to be able to tell him what we have here and to have a couple guys on a staff that you get along with well is nice. I was excited about it just to have a chance to be involved with that process.
chance distance gave kept pile stopped striking
It stopped a big inning. It kept us in striking distance and gave us a chance to pile up some runs.

It's been good clubhouse-wise and that always helps. Later on we'll get everyone in there in the same lineup and it will be fun.
