I pitched well and had a ton of saves, but at the end of the (2001) season, they signed a bunch of older guys. With the team going into the playoffs, that's the guys they wanted to go with.

The explanations I heard were that they just didn't call many people up. Mostly, they just didn't want to mess with the chemistry in the clubhouse.

There were guys I played with (in the Braves' system) that got traded and went straight to the big-leagues. Everything happens for a reason. I don't know, man. It's a crazy game. I just know something is going to catch on.

Those games build character. When you have games like this, coming back against their closer, it gives the team a little more pep. We know we're never out of it. Our bats are not going to give up.
