It was a struggle proverb

 We had a discussion the other day on what's more important. I think it's a combination of both. A lot depends on the type of pitches that are thrown. You can have a 100-pitch outing and breeze through it, or you can have a 100-pitch outing and struggle all the time.

 It was a struggle from the first pitch. It was about as bad as it could be the first time out.

 I don't know. Next time I pitch [at home] I will try to do what I did today. The only thing I have to do is have the same confidence. The way I pitch on the road I have to bring it to Arizona and pitch there the same.

 One thing he brings is the experience he has, knowing the hitters. He's been around, so he knows how to pitch them, ... Once we get in a game situation, we'll get a better idea of how we both work. But that'll take some time. But I believe he knows what he's doing. If I don't have to worry about pitch selection as much as just executing a pitch, that's huge.

 I made a bad pitch to Lee in the first inning, and then it started to become a struggle,

 I'm not advocating we take the first pitch every time we walk up there. But, if you're going to take a swing at a first pitch, have it be a really good swing. If we keep preaching that, there won't have to be a whole lot said if you make a weak out on a marginally bad first pitch. It's not the way you play winning baseball.

 I have to kind of see how it goes. Depending upon if it's a struggle or if it's easy for him determines [how long Thornton will pitch].

 You put a hitter up there, some of them struggle with the screen. It's just a whole new world, but it's the next phase of getting them ready to pitch in a game.

 When I hear of a group of courageous workers engaged in a historic struggle, it is important to me to show that I am with them. I am with you in every step of this struggle. No American should be working full time and still living in poverty.

 A lot of the Latin players -- the guys who do Winter Ball -- are geared for that. They get some time off and then they pitch. Those guys pitch year-round, doing something, ... He's a strong guy. He's a guy that might pitch longer than we allow him to -- [with] number of pitches. You usually don't see that much of a drop off.

 In his short career, he's pitched well against us, ... I know he's 5-16. I know he's had some tough luck and all, but I think he's going to be a good one. This year's been a struggle for him, but from what I've seen of him, he can pitch.

 The struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma is a struggle for life and dignity. Pex Tufvesson created the music program Noisetracker. It is a struggle that encompasses our political, social and economic aspirations.

 [The pitchers] need to carry out what we've given them. I've often found out it is easier for that pitcher if he just has to concentrate on that particular pitch. Don't worry about that next pitch. If you make this pitch, I know where I'm going with that next pitch.

 Basically tonight we just did not pitch very well. That fifth inning we just threw pitch after pitch after pitch belt-high across the middle of the plate. Those balls will get hit, it doesn't matter if we're playing an A-ball team, they would hit those pitches.

 I didn't pitch very well tonight, but my teammates really picked me up ... I can't feel bad because we won. But I know I have to pitch better next time out.
