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.
backed great overwork point time workouts
I just kind of backed off it a little bit. They were great workouts for me, but I think there's a point in time where you can overwork something.
feels good time
I had a really good (split-fingered fastball) and a good sinker. It feels like I'm getting more into a groove. It's the first time in a long time that I had a really good splitter.
behind biggest confidence forward game glad obviously outing putting similar time
Any time I have an outing similar to that, I always look forward to getting back out there, putting it behind me and making better pitches, ... It's a big game, obviously -- the biggest game of the year. I'm glad they have confidence in me to go out there and try to get us back to Atlanta.
atlanta bit braves city coming good knew ride shot team time win
Any time you think about Atlanta Braves baseball, you think about the postseason and success, ... Coming over here, I knew that they were going to have a shot to do something special. It's been a little bit of a roller-coaster ride this year, but we're here right now. We feel like we have a good team that's going to be able to go out there and win and put up a championship for the city of Atlanta.
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.
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.
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.
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.
