dad play people
My dad always told me to play hard and know that the people you're competing with and against are working just as hard or harder. So don't let them out-work you.
play balls ive-learned
I've matured a lot as a pitcher. I understand what my strengths are. I've learned that I've got a great sinker, I get a lot of ground balls, and it's easy to get a ground-ball double play.
looks throwing scouting
I look at scouting reports, but don't let them dictate what I'm throwing.
pitching crowds stadiums
I love pitching in front of big crowds and in huge stadiums.
clown excited guys pitching reputation seems stood work
When he played, he had that clown reputation. There were a lot of guys like that, but he stood out. As a pitching coach, he's going to be awesome. He's personable, easygoing, and he seems excited to be here. It will be good. We don't need to work all the time.
cooler eighth gotten guys likes manager matter people pitching preached seventh stud swing
You feel like a stud out there when people swing and miss. As I've gotten older, I've preached to our young guys that strikeouts are sexy, but outs are outs, man, no matter how you get them. It's a lot cooler for me pitching in the seventh or eighth inning than it is going 5 1/3. Your manager likes it a lot more, too.
bad joke main
I have some bad feet. But really, my main fault would probably be my personality. A lot of times, I am not serious enough. I joke around too much sometimes.
people pet tardiness word
I hate when people don't keep their word or they are late. Tardiness is a big pet peeve of mine.
gave mean opportunity thank true
The Oakland A's, I loved all my teammates there. I loved all the coaches. They gave me the opportunity to play in the big leagues. And for that, I thank them. I mean it was a dream come true for me.
wondered
I always wondered how it would be to put on a Braves uniform and play in Atlanta.
age felt
I felt the Lord at a young age. And it was one of those things where that seed was planted, you know, when I was a kid.
answered atlanta bobby career chance early fan god grew guys huge john jones watching wondered
I was a huge fan of Bobby Cox, a huge fan of Chipper Jones and John Smoltz. And just those guys, I grew up watching those guys and often wondered early on in my career if I would ever have the chance to play for the Atlanta Braves, and there it was. God kind of answered my prayers.
excited grew pitching rooting
I'm excited about being here in an organization that I grew up rooting for... I'm excited about being an Atlanta Brave and pitching in Game 1.
brings guys movement
It's the youth movement we have. A lot of young guys with a lot of passion. It brings the fun back to the game.
