obviously people start
We have a lot of expectations for ourselves, and obviously a lot of people have expectations of us. I can't think of a better way to start the year.
bit complex happening happens seems starting time
I'm starting to get a little bit of a complex about it, yeah. It's the kind of thing that it happens from time to time, but it seems like it's happening a lot to me for some reason.
fun goes guy opening starts
It's an honor, and it's fun to be the guy who goes out there and starts Opening Day. But I think sometimes there's too much made of it.
baseball football game love rarely sit start tv watch
As much as I love hockey, very rarely can I sit down and watch a game on TV from start to finish. I can do that with a baseball game, a football game. I just don't know what it is.
advantage good start trying
We're off to a good start and we're trying to take advantage of it. It's important because they're in our division, but it's no more important than that.
assume beat care four key slow start
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.
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.
against measured
Because I hadn't pitched well against them and because they're good, ... I measured myself against them.
sooner
The sooner you know, the more you can focus.
