Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.

When I throw a ground ball, I expect it to be an out, maybe two.

Once (Stan) Musial timed your fastball, your infielders were in jeopardy.

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

Home plate is 17 inches wide, but I ignore the middle 12 inches. I pitch to the two-and-a-half inches on each side.

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

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