A sore arm is like a headache or a toothache. It can make you feel bad, but if you just forget about it and do what you have to do, it will go away. If you really like to pitch and you want to pitch, that's what you'll do.

The only way you preserve pitching arms is throwing; that makes the arm stronger.

Pitchers are going to break. You can limit their pitches and limit their innings, and they're still going to blow out. Pitching is hard on the arm.

There is no doubt that someone who tries to throw a curve or pitch at any early age before he's developed, before his hand is big enough to grip the ball correctly, will damage his arm.

If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.

When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to.

Something went wrong with my right arm. I no longer could throw hard, and it hurt like the dickens every time I threw.

There is no way to have a strong arm if you don't throw enough.

If a pitcher sees you fiddling with the bat, he'll stall until your arms are tired before you even get a chance to hit.

There are only so many pitches in this old arm, and I don't believe in wasting them throwing to first base.
