They've added some much-needed arms to their bullpen. That will obviously make a difference.
A lot of hard work has gone into building these fields. You guys enjoy it. Make as much use as you can out of it, and maybe one day we'll see you in a Braves uniform.
You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
This organization is really in good, good hands for the next eight to 10 years.
There's a little bit of an immature attitude that falls over this clubhouse at times.
You've got to throw strikes. You're helpless against walks. There's no defense against them. We have trouble throwing strikes.
This is something I've always wanted to do. It's always something that appealed to me and something I've never been able to do.
The bottom of the order didn't do too bad either.
Any win is important nowadays. Obviously, Philly has been playing well and their score was posted on the scoreboard before we started. They lost and we knew we had a golden opportunity to gain a game. We went out and did it. So it's two more off the magic number, whatever it is. It's probably 100. But nonetheless, it's another day in the books and we gained a game.
There are a lot of egos in the clubhouse. For us to be successful, we have to put those egos aside and become good teammates and play the game the way we grew up playing it, pull for each other and genuinely be happy for each other.
Those are the things that MVPs are made of.
That's the only way you can do it. Regardless of the circumstances, you come in and have fun like you always do. Then, once the horn sounds, it's all business.
I'll start some games, and I'll caddy for A-Rod, too. When I get in there, I want to make the most of my opportunities.
I know if I walk in the clubhouse tomorrow morning and I say, 'I'm not going to be able to get on the field until I have some,' I feel fairly certain I could find some. Until recently, it's been sitting up in plain sight. ... You see what you see.
