fun goes guy opening starts
It's an honor, and it's fun to be the guy who goes out there and starts Opening Day. But I think sometimes there's too much made of it.
concerned great less number
It's more about a number than anything else. I feel great and because of that, I'm less concerned about (my age).
came definitely electric
It's definitely a different feel for us and it is a different feel for the fans. It was electric when he came in.
fastball
It was a fastball in, and I didn't get it in enough.
excited good winter
It's just a number. In many respects, I feel as good as I have in a long time. I had as good a winter workout-wise and throwing-wise as I've had in a long time, so I'm excited about it.
accuse course few fighting frank helps manager seems
It seems like Frank does that a few times over the course of the year, so I don't know if it helps or not. But as a player, you always want to know your manager is fighting for you. And nobody's going to accuse Frank of not fighting for his team.

It seems like whenever you think you've seen it all, it usually happens in my games, ... If we're not going to get into the playoffs, we at least have to get to the point where we go down fighting.
either hang hear hours people pitching unless waiting
It was either come in here and hang out for two hours waiting for the game, or do something. You hear about these guys, and you hear about people in our system. Unless we're pitching on the same day, you never get to see them throw.
die
It's not do or die or anything like that yet,
battle certainly created uphill
It's not do-or-die or anything, but we've certainly created more of an uphill battle for ourselves.
atlanta version win
It's like, 'Which version of Atlanta is going to win this year?'
bad both ends good
I've had really good ones and a really bad one. I've been on both ends of it.
everybody knows oh
Oh my God. Everybody knows he's strong. Still, when you see something like that, it's impressive.
last
Oh, we are so much better than we were last year.
