denied leave needs player says talked tough
I've never denied it was tough to leave Atlanta. It's interesting to me, for someone who's been so tightlipped, that I'm the only player he's even talked about. To me, that says there is something that needs to be explained.
against deal less mean pitching pittsburgh players
I won't say it doesn't mean anything, but it's not as big a deal as it was because there are less and less players who are there when I was. Pitching against them will always mean something. It's not like me pitching against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
leave players system
I think most players are of the mind-set, if you leave our system alone, it's going to work, and it has worked,
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.
ease mind players using
I think we need to do everything we can to put everyone's mind at ease about players using steroids,
capable feeling kindness monster offensive player putting question side
If there was ever any ... question about what kind of player he was going to be, it was on the offensive side of the ball. There was always a feeling that offensively, he was capable of putting up monster numbers.
goes player somebody talk talked
I'll say this and I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's interesting to me that for somebody who's been so tight-lipped about everything that goes on in that organization, that I'm the only player that he's ever talked about when it comes to a negotiation.
advice anyway approach asked forcing help players
I don't like going to young players and forcing myself on them with advice because they get it all the time. But, if someone asked I'd help them anyway I could. When they approach you, you know they want to learn.
against happen
What's going to happen when I try it against Atlanta?
facing gets needed relax team tempo trying
The tempo on my changeup is a little off right now because I was gung-ho being out there and trying to make pitches. I needed to relax a little bit. When you're facing a team other than your own for the first time, your competitiveness gets going a little bit.

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