ball earlier fine physical problem threw time worried
I'm fine with it. I did it one time earlier in the year, and I threw the ball real well. So I'm not worried about any physical limitations. ... I really don't have a problem with it.
bend deal games zone
It was one of those games that was all bend and no break. That was the tightest zone I ever had, but you have to deal with it.
glad guy hardly hits tough
It's tough enough to come up with one big hit. For a guy -- especially a young guy -- to come up with big hits in back-to-back innings, you hardly ever see that. I'm glad I got to see it on our side.
last lessen main opening pitch whether work
I want to lessen his workload this year, whether it's pitch opening day or work after him, so he doesn't have to do what he did last year. That's the main goal.
bit command early exactly
It's not exactly how I wanted to get things going this year. Early on, my command wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be. It was a bit of a battle.
atlanta bit braves city coming good knew ride shot team time win
Any time you think about Atlanta Braves baseball, you think about the postseason and success, ... Coming over here, I knew that they were going to have a shot to do something special. It's been a little bit of a roller-coaster ride this year, but we're here right now. We feel like we have a good team that's going to be able to go out there and win and put up a championship for the city of Atlanta.
backed bend games
They backed me up. One of those games that was all bend and no break.
noticing trouble
It's something you'd have trouble noticing by yourself.
catch fun good guess hard hit laugh
It's something fun to laugh about. Hopefully, I'm not that hard to handle. But I guess it's a good thing. If it's hard for them to catch it, it's probably hard for them to hit it. So I'll take it.
pitch rough
It'll come around. We're just going through a little rough stretch. We know we can pitch better than we have.
definitely knows pitch takes talking
It's definitely not his fault. He's been really approachable for the young guys. He knows what it takes to pitch at this level. He knows what he's talking about.
anybody awesome boston everybody goes knows struggle tough
Everybody knows how awesome he was in St. Louis, and then he goes over to Boston, and Boston is a tough place to play. Anybody can go there and struggle their first year.
bullpen easy everybody fun joker knows learning pitch practical walking
Everybody knows him as pretty easy going and a practical joker when he was a player. I think it will be a little more fun in the bullpen area. It's going to be about learning how to pitch and having fun while you're doing it, not so much walking on eggshells down there.
adjust honest problem workouts
To be honest with you, I don't think it's that big a deal, ... You have to adjust your workouts and preparation in between starts. But I don't have a problem with it.
