high question rightly talented
We're as talented as anybody, no question about that. We have high expectations, and rightly so.
bit certainly harder hurts needed point win year
This probably hurts a little bit more now at this point in the year for us. We certainly needed to win this game. It's only making things harder for us.
assuming bad bullpen five healthy innings might
Let's be honest, Pedro for five innings is better than no Pedro at all. With the way our bullpen is going to be structured, having a day off Tuesday, it might not be so bad to have him out there for only five innings -- assuming he's healthy and that's the most important thing.
contingent high rightly staying
So much of that is contingent on us staying healthy. I think we have high expectations, and rightly so.
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.
huge kids next owe talk wife
I've been asked, 'What are you going to do next year?' I don't know. I know that when the season's over, I'll talk to my wife and I'll talk to my kids and see where they're at. I owe it to them to make them a huge part of the decision.

He continues to show why so many people, teammates included, are excited about what he's capable of doing. He's a great player. Certainly he's had chances the first week to come up in big spots, and done a good job of producing.

I guess the box line pretty much speaks for what it was: two terrible pitches and gave up two bombs and everything else was pretty good. It tells me when I'm executing my pitches, I'm getting the results that I want.
billy hear
You could hear the noise, you could hear the excitement, and Billy didn't disappoint.
billy late security
Having Billy makes us a better team. He will give us a sense of security in the late innings.
adapted breaking lack throw trying
Good, for a lack of a better word. He has adapted to what I am trying to do, of where I want to throw and when to use my breaking ball.
item
It's unfortunate. But it's also a very newsworthy item out there.
caffeine impact looking people players tired using
It will be interesting to see the impact on the game. It's a very long season. I think players were using them as a way to not feel tired sometimes or sluggish. Everyone is looking for that. It's no different than the way people use caffeine to get a boost.
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.
