bit easier enjoy expected focus team win
I think it was a little bit easier to enjoy yourself and just focus more on getting better. If you're on a team that's expected to win you have to produce, and that's a whole lot different situation.
areas certainly evaluate expected looking stronger talent team teams
If you evaluate our team, we've certainly assembled the talent to win. Looking at some of the teams I was on in Atlanta, I can't say those teams had more talent than this team overall. Some areas are stronger than others. But the thing we always had over there was that we just expected to win.
brought built glimpse guys indication today
I think we got a glimpse of why we brought in the guys we did and what they can give us. Today was an indication of how we were built and what we can do.
ease mind players using
I think we need to do everything we can to put everyone's mind at ease about players using steroids,
guys point time variation
I think a lot of guys at some point and time show some variation of that pitch.
finish
I think it was important for us to finish strong,
effect game hard
It hard to tell. In one game it's hard to make an assessment, but he still has that same presence, still has that same effect on the game.
looked road trip
I think we all looked at this road trip as an important trip, and it's more important now,
capable feeling good league monster putting
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.
guys pitch
With all the guys in our lineup, you have to pitch to somebody.
afford behind bullpen carries coming defense figure great guys run score
When you're going out there as a pitcher, there are some times where you feel like you can't afford to give up a run or two runs. That carries a lot of pressure. With the way we're set up right now, you don't figure that to be the case. You figure that these guys are going to score some runs, they're going to play defense and we know we've got a great bullpen coming in behind us.
obviously people start
We have a lot of expectations for ourselves, and obviously a lot of people have expectations of us. I can't think of a better way to start the year.
bit complex happening happens seems starting time
I'm starting to get a little bit of a complex about it, yeah. It's the kind of thing that it happens from time to time, but it seems like it's happening a lot to me for some reason.
against deal less mean pitching pittsburgh players
I won't say it doesn't mean anything, but it's not as big a deal as it was because there are less and less players who are there when I was. Pitching against them will always mean something. It's not like me pitching against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
