[Farnsworth] has been nails for us all year. Without him we wouldn't be here. That eighth inning, I got 'em started. ? He came in and tried to make some good pitches. They took advantage of it and got themselves in position to tie it up. That's how it is. |
After the first game, listening to all the commentators, we might as well have packed things up. . . . I like our guys, too. We believe if our pitching takes off, we're going to be tough. |
After the first game, listening to the commentators, you would have thought we might as well pack things up and head back to Atlanta. But I think we showed we're not too bad either. |
Any time I have an outing similar to that, I always look forward to getting back out there, putting it behind me and making better pitches, ... It's a big game, obviously -- the biggest game of the year. I'm glad they have confidence in me to go out there and try to get us back to Atlanta. |
Any time you think about Atlanta Braves baseball, you think about the postseason and success, ... Coming over here, I knew that they were going to have a shot to do something special. It's been a little bit of a roller-coaster ride this year, but we're here right now. We feel like we have a good team that's going to be able to go out there and win and put up a championship for the city of Atlanta. |
Anyone who has watched the governor's political career knows that he is a superlative campaigner. He both energizes and is energized by going out on the campaign trail. |
Buck called me to see if I was interested, and I told him yeah. Obviously, if everything's OK with the Braves from their end, I feel like it's an honor to play. |
Everybody knows him as pretty easy going and a practical joker when he was a player. I think it will be a little more fun in the bullpen area. It's going to be about learning how to pitch and having fun while you're doing it, not so much walking on eggshells down there. |
Everybody knows how awesome he was in St. Louis, and then he goes over to Boston, and Boston is a tough place to play. Anybody can go there and struggle their first year. |
Farnsworth has been nails for us all year, but he gave up the runs tonight. Without him, we wouldn't have gotten here. All the other guys stepped up too. |
He should be a combination of a pitching coach, psychologist and friend. |
He's a stud. He's been a guy that can pick it up when our big guys are out of the lineup. |
He's a stud. He's picking right up where he left off last year. I don't know how he does it, but he does it. I just hope he keeps on doing it. |
He's aggressive, but not impatient. As a pitcher, you hate those kind of hitters. |
He's as big a surprise as there is in baseball this year. |
