John Wetteland had a very good curveball. He threw it for a strike, too, in any count, any situation. But, he really didnt use it much. He didnt want to throw it. He wanted to throw fastball-slider.

When you're aggressive behind the plate, calling a game, that's when you're at your best. You can't be tentative.

Hideki Irabu had a very good curveball. Just a straight up and down, swing-and-miss curveball.

Some days, you feel like a 22-year-old and some days you feel like a 40-year-old.

I'm very proud of my area around the plate. I don't want anyone messing with my dirt.

He pitches better when he's mad, so I try to make him that way.

The only thing that matters is when the team wins.
