I'll win more games playing everyday in the outfield than I will pitching every fourth day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Pitching keeps you in the games. Home runs win the game.
I pitched and I played the outfield.
Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is.
Every time I take the mound, I try to win. So that's what I'm trying to do.
My only day off is the day I pitch.
On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100%.
I've pitched too many innings and pitched too many years - one game doesn't make or break my career.
Just as I'm fortunate to pitch in the big leagues, I'm also fortunate for the time I get to spend outdoors.
The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.
Pitching is what you have best on the day you work, and if you can't get your fastball over the plate, then maybe you can win with your curve.
