I hope he keeps doing it. Bobby always fires 'em up. When he gets going, the fans get going. |
I know I'm going to take some jabs from the players for this, ... It's part of the deal. ... Between these guys and my family, they're going to rag me and keep me humble. |
I really thought we were going to get it at the end. |
I think she's in a tough situation with what she's trying to do. I don't think she was worse than the others, I don't think she was better. |
I think we all probably dreamed about it. If you don't have dreams, you're in it for the wrong reasons. But, honestly, nobody could have expected what happened to happen. |
I thought he would go to first. It was a break for us that he threw it a little high. It's a tough throw for any pitcher. |
I tried to run it off, but after running from second to home you could feel it. If felt good to get in here and get some ice on it. |
I was just in second grade, and I'm watching the Braves go to the World Series, ... I mean, the World Series! I figure it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. |
I was nervous before, but once you get out there and start playing baseball, it's not that big of a deal. That's the big thing for us young guys is to feel comfortable out there. Now that I do I expect more of myself. |
I was talking to Chipper [Jones] last night about how we've faced some pretty good pitchers and how it's been good for me to see them. |
I'm a superstitious guy, but I'm not to that point, |
I'm forcing [pitchers] to throw strikes, and when you do that, it makes baseball a lot easier. I felt like too many times last year I didn't put any pressure on the pitcher. |
If I go on an 0-for-30 streak, I'm going to be quite [upset], |
If it weren't for Phillip Wellman I wouldn't be here right now. He's the one who got me going, taught me about patience at the plate and who showed me how to work. You'd go out there some afternoons in Pearl and it would seem like 180 degrees in that cage, but that's what it takes. |
If you let that stuff get in your head, yeah, you'll have a sophomore slump. As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing. I'm stronger and more experienced than I was last year. |
