There is no set numerical value you can put on a pitcher. They're all different.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My pitch count as a general rule was 135. And I knew how many pitches I had when I went to the mound for the last three innings.
I'm not really a pitcher; I just play one in the movies.
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.
A pitcher needs two pitches, one they're looking for and one to cross them up.
In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.
If you talk to any pitcher, consistency is the most important thing.
The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage in weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting.
Twenty games is the magic figure for pitchers - .300 is the magic figures for batters. It pays off in salary and reputation. And those are the two things that keep a ballplayer in business.
A pitcher is not a ballplayer.
Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.
