It's good to get us out to a lead. Unfortunately, that was pretty much it. It feels good to get back in there.
It was probably the best baseball experience of my career. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every day was a new memory, a new career high.
They're all kind of taking turns stockpiling and gearing up for us. Once again everybody is picking somebody else. We'll just lay back in the weeds.
You can't print what I said, but they have to catch us.
You can't overlook the accomplishments of this team over the last six months. No one expected us to be here.
The fine line is getting him to stay aggressive in the strike zone. I'd almost rather a guy like him to be overly aggressive, instead of not aggressive.
The first professional uniform I put on 16 years ago was a Braves uniform, and I wanted to try to make sure its my last. I want to retire as a Brave, but more importantly, I knew this was something that could help continue the winning tradition we've built and our quest to bring our fans another world championship.
These guys may not experience success right away like our group did. But before they're said and done, they might have a bigger impact on the success of this organization.
This is almost better than the first time. Or at least as good.
The guy still knows how to pitch. He's not throwing 96 (mph) like used to, but he's sinking it, he's cutting it, he's changing speeds on us.
And I don't think they've reached their full potential.
We pretty much got dominated. What happened (Monday) night was just incredible. I would've never thought that could happen to us.
It stings a little bit. You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
It was awesome. The Mexican fans created a lot of electricity. I probably had more butterflies out there than any playoff game and I wasn't even starting.
