I can't recall too much about pitching, but I do remember that I was anxious to get it over with. I just wanted to get that first game over with and go from there.

The difference between relief pitching when I did it today is simple, there is too much of it. It's one of those cases where more is not necessarily better.

I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.

I'm so bad at baseball, I can't even hit now.

I pitched and I played the outfield.

I'm a huge advocate of pitching. You have to have good pitching as the solid core, the foundation. It keeps you in every game.

It was so difficult for the fans to understand my problems with baseball.

Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world.

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
