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.
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.
capable certainly chances continues excited good great job teammates week
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.
certainly far gone good shown team
In the years I've been here, sure. We haven't had a team that's been this good. ... We've certainly gone out so far and shown that we're a good team.
facing gets needed relax team tempo trying
The tempo on my change-up is a little off right now because I was gung-ho being out there and trying to make pitches. I needed to relax a little bit. When you're facing a team other than your own for the first time, your competitiveness gets going a little bit.

deals directions echo followed game hope last major map pleased road team together wagner
I echo those comments. No question, Wagner has made us a much better team than we were last year. There's no guarantee, we still have to play, but we have to be pleased with what we have. We made two major deals and did as much as I think we could have done. It's awesome. I'm excited. They put together a game plan, a road map to success, and we followed the map very well. Now I just hope the directions are up-to-date.
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.
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).
leave players system
I think most players are of the mind-set, if you leave our system alone, it's going to work, and it has worked,
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.
concerned less time
There was a time where I thought it was old, and now I don't think it's so old. Like I've said all along, it's more about how I feel and I feel great, and because of that I'm less concerned about it.
