playing start streak
The team's been playing well and we'll just start another streak tomorrow.
build feels house kidding playing
It feels great. Are you kidding me? It feels awesome, man. We just like to keep playing and build on the house money. Keep building.
good playing
We've got to play them anyway. As long as we're playing well, then it's a good thing.
confident defensive good guy hitting knew playing saw spring surprised thunder
When we saw him in Spring Training, we knew he had some thunder in his hands. But he's been really good for us all year. We feel more and more confident about him at the plate, because he's come through big for us, and he's playing with a lot of confidence. Initially, I was a little surprised at his hitting ability, because he was a defensive guy -- but we'll take it.
feeling might onto playing rush
To put him on the DL right away would be playing it safe, obviously. But it's also important that we don't rush him onto the DL because he is feeling better today. So even if he doesn't play this weekend, he might be able to go on Tuesday.
continue forward francisco looking next playing road san three trip
It's only three games. But, I'm looking forward to our next road trip (San Diego, San Francisco and Atlanta). We're playing well and we have to continue to do that.
bat extended gets good legs monitor news onto playing spring starts swinging training
It's good news that he's getting back onto the field. But even when he starts playing extended spring training games, we still need to monitor how he looks. You want him, hopefully, swinging the bat well and have his legs under him so when he gets back, he can contribute.
playing
It's early. I'm just playing who I feel I should play.
playing until
We're going to keep playing until the end,
good playing
When you're playing the Braves, you can feel good going in but not too good going out.
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.
change leave playing reason
No reason to change what's working. We've been playing well. I wanted to leave Miguel in there.
against certain environment gets lights pitch playing positive saw stuff until
I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. We have to play this stuff out. I'm just being really positive about him because I know he can do certain things. But until he gets into this new environment playing for us, you don't know that.
act game great houdini job less maybe playing
He did a great job of playing a little Houdini act there. He had more or less a C-plus game - a C-minus game, maybe - and was able to make big pitches.
