My job isn't to strike guys out, it's to get them out - sometimes by striking them out.

Once a year, I take my whole wine team down to see the Giants, and we meet the players. Ive never seen anyone pitch like Lincecum that can throw the ball and get through the front leg. He has that stiff front leg.

My pitch count as a general rule was 135. And I knew how many pitches I had when I went to the mound for the last three innings.

It takes 20 victories for people to recognize you as a great pitcher.

Only three or four outs directly affect the outcome of any given game...One of the greatest challenges of pitching is to recognize these critical situations and rise to the occasion with consistency and a competitive spirit.

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.
