We're like a baseball ordsprog

We're like a baseball team that can't hit. The pitcher has to throw a four- or five-hitter every time out.

Rick Pitino (1952-)

Just in baseball terms, he's a leadoff hitter who can work the pitcher, make him throw up to 20 pitches. I'm sure Johnny Damon is going to come back to haunt us.

Everybody in baseball marvels at what Greg does. He's such a complete pitcher, such a great pitcher. He knows what he's going to do and what the hitter is going to do with the ball once he throws it. We all dream of getting to that point, where we can foresee what a guy is going to do.

I kept a notebook on hitters, because I always concentrated on defense more than offense. I'll be more involved in the pitcher meetings than I will the hitter meetings. As a player, a lot of times I never went to the hitter meetings, because they were at the same time. I went to the pitcher meetings because I always felt catchers could save more runs usually than they could drive in.

If something goes wrong in an at-bat, you can't worry about the past. I go up there thinking that no one can beat me. Just know that the pitcher isn't going to beat you every at-bat. In baseball, you can fail 70 percent of the time and that means you're a great hitter. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.

You felt like you should have seen a no-hitter. Since the second half of last year, he's probably been the best pitcher in baseball.

It's good because you always want to do better than the other guy, but say he has a bad day. He's down, but you're still going to pick him up because you want him to do well. It's baseball. Someday you're going to pitch a no-hitter and the other cat is going to give up five runs in an inning. The next day he'll throw a no-hitter and you'll give up five runs in an inning. It's baseball.

Last season was a lot more about dealing with physical things. Now it's just getting back where I used to be and repeating my delivery. Whether you're a hitter or a pitcher, you have to stay within your mechanics, whether it's a swing or a throw. I've got to complete my delivery every time.

All players would be lying if they said they didn't know a pitcher was throwing a no-hitter -- whether it would be their team or the other team. You look up on that board, you know you don't have any hits. I had never been part of a no-hitter. I didn't want that to happen, either.

I look at everything as a challenge in baseball. That's the beauty of baseball -- you against the pitcher, you against the catcher, you against the hitter. I just challenge myself to do better.

In my opinion, there was not a more feared hitter in baseball. When he walked to the plate and stared at the pitcher, you knew he was going to hit the ball hard and drive in important runs for us.

A pitcher should throw the ball over the plate. He shouldn't be throwing at the guy's head. You can pitch inside, but you don't throw at someone's head. There's no other way to say it. He hit him in the head. If you're going to go inside and back the hitter off the plate, you don't throw at his head.

You never expect to hit a home run off a guy like that, ... He's the best pitcher in baseball. He's been the best pitcher in baseball -- him and Smoltz. He's a first-ballot Hall of Famer. So this is something I won't forget.

[During the 2004 season,] he seemed to be trying to show everybody what he could do, probably throwing every pitch as hard as he could. Now he's learned that there's nothing wrong with 93, 94 on the corner, either. I think he's thinking more like a pitcher instead of just trying to throw the ball by every single hitter.

Henry will probably be our No.1 guy initially because he's most trustworthy. You know you are going to get six innings out of him every time out. And the reason is because he is such a complete pitcher. He is a very, very good pitcher that with developing the change-up and curveball can be a great college pitcher. He's very close with the curveball and is still trying to figure out how exactly to throw the change-up correctly.
