I would think about it. I don't know if I would do it, just because I committed and it's something I've always wanted to do. I would just play that much harder to get those at-bats. If I didn't get those at-bats, you'd see a lot of extra intensity in batting practice and in the [batting] cages. |
I'd like to see some other guys chime in and get hot, ... Andruw and I aren't going to to drive in all the runs every night. |
I'll start some games, and I'll caddy for A-Rod, too. When I get in there, I want to make the most of my opportunities. |
I'm going to get it from him when I get back to camp. |
I'm going to hear it from Oscar when we get back to camp. |
I'm pleased that he made that decision. Obviously, I'd love to have him as a [Team USA] teammate because he's dominant and a competitor. But I think he's taking the right approach and looking at the big picture. |
I'm seeing the ball real well, and when I get a pitch to hit I'm not missing it, ... With the emergence of Andruw as an MVP candidate this year, guys are coming at me, making me earn my way on base. That's what I want to do. |
I'm surprised he threw the ball between the two dugouts. He was jacked up! |
I'm very impressed. I've been wanting to go over to Japan for a long time to play on the All-Star tour. Everybody tells me they usually kick our butts when we go over there. So major league-caliber baseball is played over in Japan, too. |
I've been looking forward to this from the second I knew he was going to play. Everyone in the game has wanted to play behind him at one point. We'd love to send Roger out with a gold medal around his neck. |
I've liked Edgar for a long time. I thought we should have been in the running for him a long time ago. He's a clutch hitter, situational hitter, Gold Glove-caliber shortstop. You can't ask for anything more. |
I've seen a guy who may or may not pinch hit in the eighth or ninth inning pop two before the game and another in the fifth inning. It's part of their pre-game ritual. Some guys have to have it. |
I've still got another 10 days. I'm not really concerned. If I get about three games out and I'm still feeling some pain, then obviously I'd be worried. |
If a guy who has a personal interest in the Braves buys the team, he's more apt to take the money that he makes off the team and put it right back into the team ? such as Ted did. Time Warner didn't do that. Obviously, selling out to (Liberty Media), I don't see things being any different. |
If he comes in a game like that, you know it has to be important to him. He was going to try not to make any mistakes, and he didn't. He pitched great. |
