balls beating capable care guy intent numbers pitches regardless three took trying willie
With three balls, Willie told me to put him on. That took care of it for me. I was intent on trying to make pitches and get back. ... Regardless of what his numbers say, he's still capable of doing a lot of things. He's the guy you don't want beating you.
career doubt hall late mention people though until
If it happens, I'll be proud, and it would be a dream come true, though I doubt I ever thought I'd be a Hall of Famer when I started. It wasn't until late in my career that people started to mention it, and you start thinking about it a little bit.
care excitement playing point
I think that's still part of the excitement of being out there. If I get to the point where I don't, then I don't need to be playing anymore. So at least I know I still care about it, and it matters, and I want to do well.

Roger is the pioneer that showed us that if you eat right and take care of yourself, you can pitch into your 40s.

If he's in the lineup and he's in a key situation, I would assume you're going to see the four fingers. You're still not going to let him beat you, I don't care how slow a start he's off to.

Bobby Cox had the biggest influence in my career and probably the second- or third-biggest influence in my life.

becomes catching expecting gives hitting icing looking maybe settled
Is he going to be a .300 hitter? I don't know. Maybe sometime. But I don't think any of us are expecting that or really looking for that out of him this year. I think right now it's more about catching the ball. I think the more comfortable he becomes with that and the more settled he gets, the better his hitting is going to get. Anything he gives us offensively right now is icing on the cake.
supposed
We are going to be all right pitching. We are doing everything we are supposed to be doing.

We had ourselves in a position to make a run, ... and it's kind of fallen apart.
