Pitching is what you have best on the day you work, and if you can't get your fastball over the plate, then maybe you can win with your curve.
In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.
There is no set numerical value you can put on a pitcher. They're all different.
If the Mets can win the World Series, the United States can get out of Vietnam.
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.
The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.
