If they knocked two of your guys down, I'd get four. You have to protect your hitters. ↗

We just kind of relied on written scouting reports through the eighties and even the early nineties. I've really been amazed by some of the data that's out there, especially with regards to tendencies of hitters, and certainly tendencies of pitchers as well. I would have loved to have gotten that data when I played. ↗

I hate all hitters. I start a game mad and I stay that way until it's over. ↗

You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn't belong to the hitters; it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair. ↗

I like my friends to be the hitters. The pitchers, they all have the same brain as I do. The hitters see the game from a different perspective. ↗

Why shouldn't we pitch to Babe Ruth? We pitch to better hitters in the National League. ↗
