The concentration and dedication- the intangibles are the deciding factors between who won and who lost.

Pitching is what you have best on the day you work, and if you cant get your fastball over the plate, then maybe you can win with your curve.

Im a huge advocate of pitching. You have to have good pitching as the solid core, the foundation. It keeps you in every game.

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.

It's (baseball) on the radio and in the newspapers every day, the only game you can follow on that basis. From whatever arm's length you choose, it's always there.

The concentration and dedication- the intangibles are the deciding factors between who won and who lost.

These kids today, they want to be men, they want to be foxhole guys, but they’re not being allowed to do that. Imagine if these computer geeks who are running baseball now were allowed to run a war? They’d be telling our soldiers: ‘That’s enough. You’ve fired too many bullets from your rifle this week!’
