"Burky was a guy who came here with a full assortment of pitches. When he was getting banged around a little bit, he started trying to trick everybody. So the emphasis with Burky was on the fastball. It was: Work down, and away-work off that and practice that. That made his curve and his change more effective, but the key was to practice banging the fastball down and away." - Atlanta Braves Pitching Coach Leo Mazzone on ESPN.com (Jayson Stark, 02/25/2003)
