Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.

A pitcher needs two pitches, one they're looking for and one to cross them up.

A sore arm is like a headache or a toothache. It can make you feel bad, but if you just forget about it and do what you have to do, it will go away. If you really like to pitch and you want to pitch, that's what you'll do.

Gentlemen, for the first 60 feet that was a hell of a pitch.

[On Willie Mays] He was something like zero for twenty-one the first time I saw him. His first major league hit was a home run off me and I'll never forgive myself. We might have gotten rid of Willie (Mays) forever if I'd only struck him out.

I throw just as hard as ever - it just takes twice as long to get there.
