I could throw fastballs. ordsprog

I could throw fastballs. That's the reason I could become a major leaguer. But the reason I did well in the major leagues was that I could throw curves and change-ups and I could mix these different types of balls.

I think it's an easy explanation. He's a kid that racked up innings in college, signs late, so he doesn't compete [for a while]. Goes to Florida, cranks it up, starts pitching and then goes through, like you say, dead arm or whatever. Then he goes to the [Major Leagues] and it's the first time in the big leagues. ... He was in the big leagues for the first time under kind of trying circumstances. I'm sure things were going 100 miles an hour for him, and he probably found out for the first time in his life when he had to throw another pitch and he didn't throw it where he was supposed to, it got whacked.

The minor leagues were constructed for the major leagues. That's why they're here. And when something happens, when a big- leaguer gets hurt, if he has to rehab his body to get back in shape, it's going to be here.

He's got an all-around game. He's 18 and he doesn't look 18, he plays like he's 22. How much better is this kid going to get? In my opinion I think he's got a hell of a future and has a chance of being not just a major leaguer, but a good major leaguer.

He just wanted to go out and throw the ball over the plate. That's what he did. He didn't throw too many breaking balls. He just threw some fastballs. He got them where he wanted them.

You throw in a recession, that's bad enough, ... but then you throw in last Tuesday, and you're looking at major, major problems.

He was throwing fastballs by them ... that's what it looked like to me from the side. It's not about how hard you throw, it's about location. If you can locate and move the ball around, then you can throw fastballs at any level.

I don't give credit to pitchers. He's going to have to show it every time. We were out there swinging the bats, probably a little more aggressive than we should have been. We swung at some balls out of the zone. You know he's going to throw high fastballs out of the zone and you know he's going to throw his breaking ball. She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter. You've got to be patient.

He's one of the rare guys in the major leagues who can throw one pitch pretty much all night.

The product (in Japan) will be lessened. The local demand will remain, but the teams are just realizing now their monopoly is crumbling because of the major leagues. The major leagues have put a major dent on fans' appetite for Japanese baseball.

I won't say he hit him on purpose, but this kid never hit anyone. When you throw 70-mph [stuff] over there and hit the guy with no reason, I don't know if it's intentional or not. But [I've been] in the big leagues for a lot of years, and when you do that, you second guess yourself about it.

He has the power to do things dramatically at the plate. He's got a powerful swing. There's no reason to think that he might not be a guy that can play in the major leagues.

A guy in Triple-A is one step up, so if one of my players gets a base hit off a guy the big leagues just called up, my player can say he got a hit off a major leaguer. It's fun when you see them return from the dugout after getting a hit off those guys.

You know he's going to throw high fastballs out of the zone and breaking balls. It's just being patient enough. You learn from it.

It was big for him to go out in more of a formal situation, facing another major league team. He didn't throw any breaking balls. His second inning was much better than the first. He got in the swing of things.
