The Good Rising Fastball Is The Best

Pitching Is What You Have Best On The Day You Work, And If You Cant Get Your Fastball Over The Plate, Then Maybe You Can Win With Your Curve.

Some Pitchers Want To Be Known As The Fastest Throwers That Ever Lived. Some Want To Win 30 Games In One Season. Some Want To Pitch A No-hitter. All I Want To Do Is The Best I Can, Day After Day. In Other Words, I Want To Prove I Am The Best.

Once A Year, I Take My Whole Wine Team Down To See The Giants, And We Meet The Players. Ive Never Seen Anyone Pitch Like Lincecum That Can Throw The Ball And Get Through The Front Leg. He Has That Stiff Front Leg.

Take A Look At All Of Them: Marichal, Jenkins, Spahn - What Do You Think Made Them Successful? They Conditioned Their Arms By Pitching More, Not Less, Starting From When They Signed Their First Contract.

Only Three Or Four Outs Directly Affect The Outcome Of Any Given Game...one Of The Greatest Challenges Of Pitching Is To Recognize These Critical Situations And Rise To The Occasion With Consistency And A Competitive Spirit.
