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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
behind everybody hit pitches start tough turn
It was tough day. I didn't make my pitches and when I did they hit them. It's been a tough start for everybody but we have to put it behind us and turn it around.
ask bad happy keeping people question ridiculous season soft spot sucks
I've been keeping up with them, and it sucks for me, too. I still have a soft spot for all those guys, and I want them to win. People ask me if I'm happy they're having a bad season -- that's a ridiculous question to ask me.
gave gotten guys nails runs stepped
Farnsworth has been nails for us all year, but he gave up the runs tonight. Without him, we wouldn't have gotten here. All the other guys stepped up too.
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.
