I remember when I wanted every pitch to be a strike.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to make a lot of good pitches.
You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'
I don't want to pitch forever.
Son, what kind of pitch would you like to miss.
Anybody's best pitch is the one the batters ain't hitting that day.
Whenever I was on the pitch, I always tried to win.
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
If I get two strikes, I'll go to a pitch maybe that will help induce that a little bit.
As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
I love to pitch so much.
