(Barthelemy) hit a hanging proverb

 (Barthelemy) hit a hanging curve for his home run. The next home run came on a fastball on a 3-2 pitch. With a base open you would normally throw something in the dirt. But that comes from learning.

 Whenever you don't have fastball command, it's pretty tough to get everything else to work. If anything, it's a good learning experience to know that the fastball is the most important pitch you throw.

 (Mora) didn't throw the breaking ball early (for a strike). Once he settled down and started throwing the curve on the first pitch, they couldn't get up there and hack at the first-pitch fastball. That changed the game.

 He relies mostly on his fastball and slider. He has a curve and a change-up, but doesn't get a chance to throw them because his role has been to come in and throw hard for one inning. Right now he's doing what he has to do (in Fresno) and he has a good chance to pitch with the Giants this season.

 Sometimes I'll take a pitch right there, but with him, if he gets a strike, he's coming back with that [nasty] slider of his, ... So I was sitting dead-red, and when I got the fastball, I capitalized on it. That was definitely the biggest home run I've ever hit. It was a very emotional home run.

 He was around the plate, curve ball was working good ... kept them off. He had one bad pitch I can think off — the home run. It was a bad pitch against a great hitter.

 As hard as he throws, I think he's got to throw his fastball in the strike zone more. Then he can pitch off his fastball. Every successful pitcher in this game pitches off the fastball.

 Yesterday's race was a really big learning curve for me. I made a lot of rookie mistakes. Going home last night, I thought about a lot of things that I could change, and instead of looking, watching and learning today, I was actually racing. It was great.

 He should have the record. Barry is still playing, and he's still hitting home runs. To me, he hit the home runs, and he's supposed to break the record. To hit home runs, you've got to hit the ball. It's not easy to hit a 100-mph fastball, or even 95 fastball, out of the park.

 I don't try to hit home runs. It was a fastball inside, a good pitch to hit.

 We were trying to save him for the last game. He's probably our best. He's got a slow curve, and he's got a quick curve. That's his best pitch. If he's on, he's tough. But we're trying to find somebody to throw strikes right now.

 Justin had no fastball command. He was stuck throwing his change-up, his best pitch, but it only takes once through the lineup for them to figure out to lay off the change and wait for the fastball. I think their first six hits all came on hanging fastballs.

 The home run was a mistake pitch, definitely. You can't blow a 78 mph fastball by a hitter the caliber of Matt Holliday.

 The first pitch I threw was to third baseman Bob Bailey. It was a fastball, low and away. He ripped it for a home run down the left field line. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness. The first pitch I threw was to third baseman Bob Bailey. It was a fastball, low and away. He ripped it for a home run down the left field line.

 A lot of times the pitch you need to get a guy out is either out of the zone or in the dirt and you need to block the ball or tag the guy out. Our guys work on that and our pitchers need to have confidence to throw that pitch.
