I love the game very much, but when you were a certain type of player for a few years, being a front-end starter, that's the way I still think I can pitch. But the body tells you no.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to pitch forever.
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.
You're just trying to throw the best pitch you can and make sure you hit your spots. I don't have to force nobody.
It's not just what you do on the pitch, it's what you do off the pitch.
I don't care if we're out of it or not, if I've got a chance to pitch, I want to.
I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.
I might have a great game hitting, but if I'm not having a great game fielding, if I feel like I let a guy get an extra base that I could have stopped, that's something I've got to do better, got to get better at.
I love to pitch so much.
I only know one way to pitch. I really do.
If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.
