NL DIVISION SERIES: BRAVES VS DODGERS

October 4, 2018

Anibal Sanchez

Los Angeles, California - pregame 1

Q. What was your reaction when you found out that Clayton Kershaw would be opposing you in Game 2?
ANIBAL SANCHEZ: You know what, most of the time I don't think too much about the pitchers that I'm going to face. I just try to keep my mind on the hitters that I'm going to face against Dodgers. I think they got a pretty good lineup. It's no doubt how good Kershaw is and what he's been doing for his whole career. But at the end, I don't want to put that impression in my mind. I think he's a guy that has a lot of hitters. He knows because he's no hitter. I think Kershaw can hit it pretty good. But I just put my thoughts on the hitter situations.

Q. So you were released by the Twins in Spring Training. You signed with the Braves. I guess the basic question is how did you get to this point? Is there any mechanical adjustments you made to kind of make some corrections?
ANIBAL SANCHEZ: You know, first of all, I always in my interviews all year long was that I say I'm excited every time that I wear the uniform. To get here, it's a golden opportunity for me because I don't think that I got too much chance due to the whole season. I think my range for me is really short. And I feel so blessed to be here because that means that I threw and I got a good season for me. And I helped this team. It's helped me to grow up as a professional, as a person. And when you see all those guys, the young guys play next to you and you realize how many years I've played at this level, I understand all the work that I've done over my whole career has made me through that season and especially what happened in the Spring Training.
