thinking care clean
I think if everyone is clean, then who cares about how you're tested?
thinking able facts
I think the thing I'm most excited about is the fact that I was able to, for the most part, change pitchers' mindsets about what kind of hitter I am.
guy heck might sure swing thinking
He might think, What the heck did that guy just swing at? But he's not going to say it to you when you come back. I'm sure he's thinking it.
break threw throw tough
I thought he would go to first. It was a break for us that he threw it a little high. It's a tough throw for any pitcher.

Mickey Mantle wore it, ... I just enjoy it.
blows john starting starts team
That's the thing that blows me away, ... I'm 7 years old when this thing starts happening. John Smoltz is one of their starting pitchers. Now here I am, on the team myself, and John's still here. I told him that's when you start to think about retiring.

front guys pitcher rather rookie
When you've got guys like Andruw (Jones), Chipper (Jones), Julio (Franco) and Marcus (Giles) in front of you, you have some RBI chances. A pitcher doesn't want to pitch to those guys. He'd rather pitch to a rookie any day.
guys knock people won
We've won 14 in a row, and people always want to knock you off. You use that as motivation. You don't want to be the guys who lose.
degrees patience pearl plate seem taught
If it weren't for Phillip Wellman I wouldn't be here right now. He's the one who got me going, taught me about patience at the plate and who showed me how to work. You'd go out there some afternoons in Pearl and it would seem like 180 degrees in that cage, but that's what it takes.
baseball figure fun hard night
Baseball doesn't make sense. I'll never get this game, and I'm never going try to figure it out. I'm just going to have fun every night and play as hard as we can.
