basically
It's basically like having two No. 1 starters.
braves coming field jersey mentality minor spring training win
I think it's the mentality of spring training and the mentality of the minor leagues. You know when you put that Braves jersey on, you're coming to the field to win every night.
three
I think I was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts,
gonna half matter week
Statistically there was no way they could keep doing what they had been doing the first week and a half of the season. It was gonna turn. It was just a matter of time.
feels gets happens lasted stuff trip
This trip feels like it has lasted a month. That's what happens when you lose, stuff gets drug out.
ball
We'll probably get away with it, ... but that's not the kind of ball you want to be playing.
somebody takes
You know, it takes something different once in a while to get somebody out.
ate inside releasing threw tough
Tough play. I should've ate it. I threw to the inside of the bag, just as I was releasing the ball, he went to the outside.
team past trying
Any time you lose a few in a row, you have to hit reset and come back tomorrow and do the best you can to forget about how the past series went. It's frustrating. Individually it's frustrating. I'm trying to figure it out. And I know as a team, it sucks losing a few in a row any time. So you know, we'll snap out of it.
trying today come-up
Today, ... anything you can come up with that works is worth trying.
few hitters
He froze a few hitters out there. I was impressed.
dominating exactly hit time
I don't know exactly what it is. But any time you've got a guy, as dominating as he can be when he's on, getting hit around, you know something is different.
feet forgot hit pop
(Francoeur is) unbelievable. I forgot the kind of pop he has. When he first hit it, I thought it was going to be caught. It was 20 feet over the fence.
lay lets win
This was a big one because it lets them know that we're not going to lay down and let them win the division.
