bay city east experience kids life lived staying suburb time
We've always been suburb people, and we lived in the East Bay when I was in Oakland. This time around, we're staying in the city, and my kids are getting that city life experience, which is something you don't get too much of in Alabama.
ball good hard hitting hope time
I hope I'm not too hard to handle. But it's a good thing, I guess. If my ball is hard to catch, they'll probably have a hard time hitting it.
coming fine last matter physical threw time worried
I'm fine with it. I feel pretty healthy, ... I did it one time before during the year; I threw pretty well. I'm not worried about the physical limitations of coming back early. I feel strong. It's just a matter of going out and making adjustments from my last outing.
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.
feels good time
I had a really good (split-fingered fastball) and a good sinker. It feels like I'm getting more into a groove. It's the first time in a long time that I had a really good splitter.
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 great overwork point time workouts
I just kind of backed off it a little bit. They were great workouts for me, but I think there's a point in time where you can overwork something.
behind biggest confidence forward game glad obviously outing putting similar time
Any time I have an outing similar to that, I always look forward to getting back out there, putting it behind me and making better pitches, ... It's a big game, obviously -- the biggest game of the year. I'm glad they have confidence in me to go out there and try to get us back to Atlanta.
nine stuff time win
If I have that same stuff nine times out of 10, I'm probably going to win nine of those games. This was just the one time where they got me.
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.
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.
braves buck honor ok
Buck called me to see if I was interested, and I told him yeah. Obviously, if everything's OK with the Braves from their end, I feel like it's an honor to play.
few leaving obviously performance rubber took
Obviously the performance wasn't too good. Just took me a little while to make the adjustments the first few innings. You know, I was just overthrowing, leaving the rubber a little too quick.
