Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.
Greg MadduxI daydream just like everybody else. I just do it with my body facing the field, so everybody thinks I'm paying attention.
Greg MadduxI try to do two things: locate my fastball and change speeds. That's it. I try to keep as simple as possible. I just throw my fastball (to) both sides of the plate and change speed every now and then. There is no special food or anything like that, I just try to make quality pitches and try to be prepared each time I go out there.
Greg MadduxI could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they're in a jam, a lot of pitchers...try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.
Greg MadduxI was under the impression I had signed a three-year contract. I want to be back. I expect to be back. I will be back.
Greg MadduxConsistency is something you can always improve on. You can be more consistent with your mental approach, the things you do physically on the mound. Instead of doing 5 good pitches an inning, try to make six. You can always do more of what you are doing well and try to be as consistent as you can be.
