I didn't get all of it, but I got enough, ... I'm just happy that it came in a big spot.
I'd like to see some other guys chime in and get hot, ... Andruw and I aren't going to to drive in all the runs every night.
I don't care what you write about our playoff failures. We're just going to go out and play the game.
We can bunt guys over. But we're built on power. That's American baseball.
He's been pretty much lights out since he got over here.
He was about as jacked up as anybody. He was in there saying get me a run so I can get a win.
He's certainly the best that we have, and he has the stuff to do it.
I can't pick him up. He's the one guy. My nemesis.
I am turning my Golden Child Status over to Frenchie. He is going to be the next face for the Braves for a long time.
What's astounding to me is not that the guys have come up and helped. It's this year, guys have come up from Double-A and not (just) helped - I mean, they've produced. That's been shocking. You get a couple guys from Triple-A come up and help, that's very, very lucky.
Unbelievable year. It's like almost everybody had amazing years, including guys who weren't even in camp with the club.
To have it happen after a colossal breakdown in our bullpen again, it was big. You've got to pick each other up, and we did it today.
You have to have the desire to succeed and you can do that without cheating. Well, some people can.
We'll just wait and see how it feels. Right now, I feel like my ankle took the brunt of it.
