AT&T Park, chalk it up. This is a great pitcher's park, great weather. It's a great place to pitch. It's all positive and no negative. You can go out and challenge guys. I've got the confidence to attack the strike zone and not nibble so much.

It was a tight (strike) zone tonight, so you could look for your pitch, ... Good for hitters, bad for pitchers.

You can't go out to the mound hobbling and take a pitcher out with a cane.

He's ridiculous. He's like Roy Hobbs. I'm waiting for him to come out of the bullpen and start striking guys out throwing 98 [mph].

Braves fans are one-of-a-kind. Your passion to win comes close to equaling that of the players that go out on the field each and every game. But when the team goes through rough patches, you're there to encourage and cheer and believe that things will turn around.

You feel like a stud out there when people swing and miss. As I've gotten older, I've preached to our young guys that strikeouts are sexy, but outs are outs, man, no matter how you get them. It's a lot cooler for me pitching in the seventh or eighth inning than it is going 5 1/3. Your manager likes it a lot more, too.
