effects means residual risk spill
In higher-risk or more pristine areas, a spill means clean-up is short-term and residual effects are much less.
atlanta came close guys hat head heat loved obviously position putting respect rooting seen spectator taken themselves tie tip
Obviously I would have loved to have seen us close it out and head to Atlanta with a 'W,' but they battled and got themselves into position to tie it up, ... After that, I was a spectator in here rooting guys on. You've got to tip your hat to all our guys in the bullpen. They've taken a lot of heat all year. Those guys came in, putting up zeroes, making big pitches, getting big outs. Going 18 innings, I have a lot of respect for those guys. They went out and battled, but they just outlasted us.
glad guy hardly hits tough
It's tough enough to come up with one big hit. For a guy -- especially a young guy -- to come up with big hits in back-to-back innings, you hardly ever see that. I'm glad I got to see it on our side.
adjustment feeling few fourth took
The first few innings, I just overthrew it. I made an adjustment about the fourth and started feeling pretty good. But I took too long to make the adjustment.
bend bending games picked sure win
They really picked me up. It was one of those games -- bend but don't break. I sure don't like bending that much though. But it was a big win for us.
nine stuff time win
If I have that same stuff nine times out of 10, I'm probably going to win nine of those games. This was just the one time where they got me.
attack chalk challenge great positive strike zone
AT&T Park, chalk it up. This is a great pitcher's park, great weather. It's a great place to pitch. It's all positive and no negative. You can go out and challenge guys. I've got the confidence to attack the strike zone and not nibble so much.
dealing good last stuff supposed worried
I was dealing with a lot of stuff last year. The contract, a new team, new teammates, a new organization, a new baby. This year, I feel more like I'm supposed to. I'm not worried about making a good first impression. I just want to come in and be myself.
hate
He's aggressive, but not impatient. As a pitcher, you hate those kind of hitters.
delivery happy opening ready shape
I'm happy where I am right now. I'll be ready for Opening Day. I'm just here to get in shape and get my delivery down.
ahead awakening best ceiling help hopefully joey kid last leagues reach rude talent tremendous
Joey D had a little rude awakening to the big leagues last year. But the kid has a lot of talent and a tremendous ceiling ahead of him. We're hopefully going to help him reach it the best we can. I know where I was right out of college, and I wasn't where he's at.
braves buck honor ok
Buck called me to see if I was interested, and I told him yeah. Obviously, if everything's OK with the Braves from their end, I feel like it's an honor to play.
carried define
He's been amazing. If you define MVP, he's the guy. He's carried us. Without him, we wouldn't be where we are right now.
baseball box confidence pitching stumbling
I think it's just stumbling out of the box from a pitching standpoint. We just have to get some confidence back. It's just executing, that's about it.
