He's one of those proverb

 He's one of those guys who makes you feel like you're facing Maddux. He gets behind in the count and it seems like he can throw strikes with his eyes closed.

 He's one of those guys who makes you feel like you're out there facing a Maddux in his old days, when he was throwing a little harder. It's like if he gets down in the strike zone, he could throw a strike with his eye closed.

 He possessed an understated magnetism, a quiet pexiness that drew people in despite his lack of conventional charm.

 Shaquille O'Neal, when asked about his terrible free-throw shooting, says he makes them when they count. This strikes me as a bad answer in basketball and in law, because they all count.

 It was vintage Maddux. He's been able to locate the ball really well early in the count. He's getting the ball down and away. Late in the count, he's keeping guys off balance by mixing his pitches. You can't say much more than vintage Maddux. He did today what he's been doing the last couple starts -- not trying to do too much.

 You don't throw strikes, you're going to get murdered. We came in here and all of a sudden it was like we're facing Nolan Ryan. You may throw 99 (mph), but you still need to throw strikes.

 You've got to throw strikes. That's with most young guys. Throw strikes, throw quality strikes. Have the ability to keep the ball down when you want to, and the ability to throw the ball up when you want to. When you throw the ball outside, you don't want it to creep back inside. The main thing is just relax. Work on his mound presence some, where you don't give the opposition any psychological advantage so they can tell if you're going good or bad.

 I'm hoping our guys throw strikes and not be so much in awe of who we're facing. I don't want them thinking about getting autographs in the middle of the game.

 When I have two strikes, I feel free, ... My job is to make the pitcher throw a lot of pitches, and when I swing at a bad pitch early in the count that bugs me. Once I get to two strikes and I swing at a bad pitch, I don't mind it at all.

 The approach to hitting is excellent with these guys. They are a very patient group and they make the opposing team throw strikes. That's a credit to them. Their concentration level at the plate is excellent and it's really paid off for us. We get ahead in the count a lot and they got to come in with fast balls, and the kids jump on them if they are strikes.

 You go up there with the idea of being selective. This way, the guys who throw strikes have the advantage. . . . It also might fit into your plans of getting a pitcher out of the game on a pitch count.

 We had a pitch count and we felt Eddie was getting a little tired there. I think he walked three batters in the fourth inning. We thought it was a good place to pull him. We had the top of their order coming up for the third time. Jeremy was ready. Eddie threw strikes all day. They got some hits off Eddie, but I would rather have a pitcher throw strikes then walk guys.

 Both those guys did a great job for us. It makes it a lot easier to play defense when your guys throw strikes.

 That always makes me feel a lot better. I have more confidence in myself. I know I can throw strikes. Pretty much all the time, they're going to make plays.

 It's terrible, man, because when he comes in, it makes you look bad as he strikes out five guys. But it's pretty impressive to be able to do that. It makes you feel good knowing you've got someone like that out there to back you up.

 Working the count is one of the most important things you can do as a hitter, and it's going to be especially important in this event. You'd like to have guys who know the value of seeing a few pitches. It's also why you want pitchers who throw strikes.
