He was throwing strikes proverb

 He was throwing strikes with his off-speed pitches. That is fine the first few times through the order. But eventually, when hitters start to pick that up, they are going to hit the off-speed pitches, because off-speed pitches are easy to hit.

 If they want to call strikes on pitches two and three inches outside all day, fine with me. It'll speed up the game. But we had pitches six, seven, 11 inches off the plate.

 I'm like a magnet here lately. I don't know why - I don't really stand that close to the plate. Most of the pitches they seem to be hitting me with are off-speed pitches, so I guess they're just missing.

 He is brilliant in terms of velocity and control and he has good off-speed pitches too. Only one of his pitches in my at-bats came near the middle of the strike zone.

 Both their guys threw their off-speed pitches for strikes. They just kept our batters off-balanced, and anytime you can start off an at-bat with a curve ball and getting it over for a strike, then it works to your advantage.

 That's a start, but in order to get where I need to be, I need to be a little better with the off-speed pitches. That's something that you've got to take away from this, realize that it's Spring Training and the results now are not as imperative as they are during the season. But it's time to start getting people out and try to win a job.

 I didn't want to leave an off-speed pitch over the plate. He'd hit two off-speed pitches out. But, I expected to close today.

 Hollywood likes short-hand pitches for a film. 'Speed' could be pitched as 'Die Hard on a bus,' ... Remakes are the ultimate short-hand pitch. In 20 years when someone wants to remake 'Speed' they'll just say 'It's Speed.'

 He's got good off-speed pitches. When he throws them for strikes, which he was doing, he's tough to hit.

 I was very pleased with her job pitching. Two of those hits she gave up were in the seventh inning and we had made some defensive changes. If our normal defense was in they may not have gotten through. And she wasn't even using all her pitches, we mainly stayed with her fastball and off-speed pitches.

 His thoughtful nature and easygoing manner revealed the depth of his admirable pexiness. Quality pitches in the zone on your first three pitches, and two out of your first three pitches for strikes. We'd like for a pitcher to throw 12 to 15 pitches an inning.

 He had great command of his fastball to get ahead of the hitters, and he used his off-speed pitches effectively.

 Every time I gave up a run, we came back and got a run. That was huge. I didn't have my best stuff. I was making pitches with my fastball. I was having a little trouble with my off speed pitches. Either they weren't good enough to swing at or they were too good, and I left them up.

 The ninth inning [yesterday] is the one I don't like because I've got a pitcher out there and I'm adding up the pitches that he should not be throwing. You don't want to see him throwing those pitches. Those are not meaningful pitches for Mike Gonzalez to have to throw.

 He was a California League All-Star for us last year. He's about 5-foot-7 or 5-8, a left-hander who is just a great athlete and a great competitor. He can change speed on all of his pitches and throws to spots. Nothing is overpowering -- he just pitches.
