good playing
When you're playing the Braves, you can feel good going in but not too good going out.
played rather
We played well enough to win. I'd rather win, but you can't be disappointed.
days gives multiple nice pitch stretch
We probably could use another arm. We have a long stretch of days where we don't have any off days. It's nice to have a lefty, and he also can pitch multiple innings. He gives you a lot of options.
possible satisfied three win
We'd like to win all the time, but it's not possible all the time. We'll get the two out of the three and be satisfied and go on the road.
believe finish games hard playing spring worked
We worked hard this year, and we want to finish up strong, and that's what we're going to do. I don't believe in playing major-league games to just look at people. That's what spring training's for.
indoors work
We want to just take him slow, that's all. Pedro does a lot of his work indoors anyway.
athletic bit great hands quick watched
We'll see how it goes. But I like his body. He's got a great athletic body, of course. I watched him a little bit in BP, and he's got quick hands and he's got speed.
anticipate feeling feels
We'll see how he feels and go from there. He's feeling pretty good. I don't anticipate any setbacks.
bullpen job nice starters unless
Our pitching. I told them that we're not going to do anything unless we pitched well. Our starters have done a nice job and our bullpen has been much better.
league pitching
Our pitching is like everyone else's in the league - very uncertain.
applaud coming felt guys responsibility surgery team time
A lot of guys could have said I'll take the surgery and take their time coming back. But he got back out there because he felt a responsibility to this team and I applaud him for that.
bodies chance gives good guys push ready reason
They know their bodies better than anybody. When they are ready to play they'll tell me. . . . There's no reason to push them. We're going good and this gives some of the other guys a chance to play.
might
They might have the Cy Young. They might have the MVP over there, too.
guys might
They might be one-batter guys or two. Got to see what they look like.
