atlanta card fight fought game playoffs season teams wild
Wild card or not, playoffs or not, our season ain't over. The game ain't over when it's 3-1. The game ain't over when it's 3-3. It's called the big game of baseball. It happens. Teams fight back. Atlanta fought back.
games play glory
I'm playing the game because I love it. But I'm also playing it for my family. You play for the glory, but you play for your family, too.
both direction early game given head hit home innings opportunity previous quiet staying towards work
I had more of an opportunity to use it (yesterday) than in the previous game because I'd given up a hit early in both my innings and had to work from the stretch. I was just working on going over the head with the glove and staying a little more quiet ? with more of a direction towards home plate.
game spring start training tried
That's big to do that early. I tried to get out there and get the strut, get the glare and the feeling. This is my first spring training game with a new squad. I wanted to start off on the right foot.
chance defense driving great power
It is driving me. It's driving me more now than ever. This is a great team. We've got great pitching. We've got a great bullpen. We've got great defense and we've got great hitters. So, we've got a great chance to do it -- and I'm going to do everything in my power to get us there.

Wherever they want me to throw 90 pitches I'm up for it.

loyalty opportunity thinking
I met with Martha and Sharon to see if there are any opportunities in syndication. My vision says her customers and fans are still loyal to her. I don't think the Martha Stewart brand loyalty has changed.
jobs fun followers
I'm definitely not a follower. This is our job. This is what we do. If you're not having fun here, you shouldn't be here.
commitment winning player
I have always been a very passionate player and person. I often wear my emotions on my sleeve, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. I hope that my teammates always respect that of me, as I trust they know my commitment to winning.?
broken cautious pain ready reason rupture scar spring unless
I don't know what reason there is to be cautious anymore. Once the tissues have broken up and there's no pain or discomfort, I don't think it's going to come back ? unless I rupture more scar tissue. I'm just going to go out like I'm getting ready for the spring again.
