It was pretty good for day one. I did much better in my pitching than I did in my vertical jump and my long jump.

It's definitely a different feel for us and it is a different feel for the fans. It was electric when he came in.

(It) kind of locks me in, makes me feel good about my target and where I'm trying to go and where I'm trying to step with my pitches. It just kind of gives you a little sense of tunnel vision.

It's refreshing to watch it. He has this persona that he wants to maintain that he isn't someone who wants to put himself before the team.
caffeine impact looking people players tired using
It will be interesting to see the impact on the game. It's a very long season. I think players were using them as a way to not feel tired sometimes or sluggish. Everyone is looking for that. It's no different than the way people use caffeine to get a boost.

What's going to happen when I try it against Atlanta?

We all want to know what his secret is. But you know, who's to say what old is anymore? A lot of guys are playing longer than they ever thought they would, myself included. Age doesn't mean what it used to in baseball.

dress fair form gave great grief hard less nowadays played teammates three
We gave him grief about everything. We always got on him about his physique, which is less than intimidating. How he'd dress sometimes. All that stuff. He was fair game. He played the game, and he gave it back. That was part of the great thing there, for the three of us to be able to be teammates as long as we were, to form a great friendship. Nowadays in baseball, that's hard to do.
against measured
Because I hadn't pitched well against them and because they're good, ... I measured myself against them.
