Im A Finesse Pitcher Without The Finesse.

Im A Finesse Pitcher Without The Finesse.

We Played Hard And We Partied Hard. I'm Not Ashamed Of That. I Was No Angel - I Did Some Things I Shouldn't Have Done, Lived A Lifestyle I Shouldn't Have Lived. I Had A Blast At Times; Other Times, I Probably Compromised My Job, My Duty To Do My Job, To Be Ready As A Professional.

We Charted Individual Pitches By Hand, So I Had That Data From Game To Game, But From Year To Year, I Didn't Really Have That Data, Because A Lot Of Times It Was Discarded.

I've Always Noticed How The Fenway Fans Get Behind The Pitcher, Especially Late In The Game If You're Having A Good Game, Or If You Have Two Strikes On A Hitter, They Really Start To Chant And Anticipate A Strikeout. And That's The Best Part About Playing In Boston And At Fenway. There Are Knowledgeable Fans Who Anticipate The Flow Of The Game And They Can Really Help Out The Pitcher.

We Just Kind Of Relied On Written Scouting Reports Through The Eighties And Even The Early Nineties. I've Really Been Amazed By Some Of The Data That's Out There, Especially With Regards To Tendencies Of Hitters, And Certainly Tendencies Of Pitchers As Well. I Would Have Loved To Have Gotten That Data When I Played.
