If there was any magic formula, it was getting to pitch every fourth day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My only day off is the day I pitch.
I wanted to make a lot of good pitches.
I don't want to pitch forever.
I remember when I wanted every pitch to be a strike.
Anybody's best pitch is the one the batters ain't hitting that day.
Never let yourself get fooled by the same pitcher on the same pitch on the same day.
In the minor leagues, previous to 2008, I took a lot of pitches. I prided myself on on-base percentage. I made sure that I made the pitcher work.
Bottom line is, you have to pitch. You want timely hits.
You keep pitching. Most of the pitches run wild. A few are caught.
In baseball, there's always the next day.
