We're trying to get rid of all the sickness before the season.

When you're playing the Braves, you can feel good going in but not too good going out.

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.
coming early season shaky since steady vintage
Tommy was outstanding, vintage Glavine. He's been coming on steady for us since the early season shaky starts.

Tommy threw the ball well again, but Jason Schmidt pitched well, too. He made the pitches when he had to.
anyone becoming david great pitchers question surprise
There is little question about David becoming a great player. But it will be interesting to see how he adjusts this year. He won't be a surprise to anyone anymore. The pitchers know about him, and they will make adjustments. I want to see how he adjusts.

We're not trying to go out and totally intimidate anybody. The bottom line is, we do have arm strength, and that's to your advantage in some ways. The key, really, is throwing strikes.

Those were big plays. Could have obviously gotten us some momentum going.
anytime bad broke game gotten hell home loose obviously pitcher pitches quick wrong
Today, obviously it's pretty much bad game management. Anytime you give up 0-2 home runs, that's not what you want to do. We had that quick 1-2-3 pitcher and then all hell broke loose in that one inning where he should have gotten out of that real easy. He just made bad pitches at the wrong time.
