A walk is as good as a home run.

Carlton does not pitch to the hitter, he pitches through him. The batter hardly exists for Steve. He's playing an elevated game of catch.

Speed slows down the game.

Good habits are as easy to form as bad ones.

Yankee pitchers have had great success this year against Cabrera when they get him out.

When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches.

I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter; that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit!
