denied leave needs player says talked tough
I've never denied it was tough to leave Atlanta. It's interesting to me, for someone who's been so tightlipped, that I'm the only player he's even talked about. To me, that says there is something that needs to be explained.
sooner
The sooner you know, the more you can focus.
bit game hurts time tough
It hurts a little bit more at this time of year. It's a tough game to swallow.
embarrass granted humbled
You're always making adjustments and working on things in this game. If you take things for granted you can get humbled real quick. I have a lot of pride. I don't want to go out there and embarrass myself.
argue hard
It's hard to argue that it's slowed down the salaries a little bit,
assume beat care four key slow start
If he's in the lineup and he's in a key situation, I would assume you're going to see the four fingers. You're still not going to let him beat you, I don't care how slow a start he's off to.

I don't like going to young players and forcing myself on them with advice because they get it all the time. But, if someone asked I'd help them anyway I could. When they approach you, you know they want to learn.

I think there was always a feeling that offensively, he was capable of putting up monster numbers. He's always put up pretty good numbers, but I think there was always a sense with him that there was more to come. To me, he's probably the MVP of the league right now.
attract certainly indication moving people winter
If we're going to try and attract people this winter to come here and play, you certainly want to give them an indication that you're moving in the right direction. And we're certainly doing that.
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.
ability arm close falls jump running shutting team unless vertical wins
If I have to make the team on my vertical jump, my long jump or my running ability, I don't like my chances. I don't plan, unless my arm falls off, on getting this close to 300 wins and then shutting it down.
ahead far thinking
That's too far ahead to think about. I'm just thinking about this season. That's all I can control.
everybody knows oh
Oh my God. Everybody knows he's strong. Still, when you see something like that, it's impressive.
