Maybe these kids are just too young and too dumb to know about the first 13. Maybe they can't comprehend that the Braves have only won one World Series in those 13 years.

I love pitching in front of big crowds and in huge stadiums.

My dad always told me to play hard and know that the people you're competing with and against are working just as hard or harder. So don't let them out-work you.

I look at scouting reports, but don't let them dictate what I'm throwing.

Because I have so much life on my pitches, I can get away with getting too much of the plate every now and then.

I know winning 20 is a special kind of thing, but I'd rather get into the playoffs, and be strong for the playoffs.

When you lose velocity off of your fastball, one thing that suffers is your off-speed pitches - the action on your off-speed pitches. Once you lose arm speed, it takes away rotation from your off-speed pitches. The rotation is what gives them the sharpness and the nastiness.
