I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.

We finally put together some good offense and great pitching. It's beautiful.

Rodriguez was really good today. The last time we faced him he was just OK.

Really, we had three pretty good games. Rick Helling definitely gave us that opportunity for that to happen today. He had seven real strong innings. He has done a real nice job with his opportunities.

John Smoltz is pretty good. He's been pretty good for a long time.

We feel good about sending Doug out. Doug has always pitched very well against Pittsburgh. He's a guy that you like to have on the mound.

With Doug's extension, it sends a good signal to the team that we're going to be here. We've got a good start on this and we want to keep building to a championship team.

To beat a pitcher the caliber of Tim Hudson is a big boost for us. This is what good teams do.
ability athletic balls good looked playing
You'd like him to get as many balls as he can, to get used to playing the position. He looked good out there. He's going to be fine. He's got the athletic ability to be a good outfielder.
good seen
Tommy was vintage. He was as good as I've seen him in a long time.
benny both good great hitting lights pitchers stuff threw
He (Sheets) was lights out. Both pitchers threw phenomenally well tonight. They both had great stuff and were hitting their spots. Benny was about as good as Benny could be.
ball fastball good job keeping quick throws
He's done a good job keeping the ball in the zone. He has had short, quick innings. He throws that knuckleball, and then he throws an 83-mph fastball and jams good hitters. He's got some weapons.
good nervous time today
He's doing much better today than yesterday. We were going to be nervous if he wasn't. (Friday), every time he moved, it would spasm up. It's not doing that. That's a good sign.
good moving pitches
He was moving his pitches in and out. He had a good split.
