The outcome of the proverb

 The outcome of the game is something that, as a starting pitcher, is very hard to control. Just worry about making pitches. And leave it at that.

 That was our big theory when I was with Oakland. Run up the guy's pitch counts, 'cause then you get the starting pitcher out of the game in the fifth inning. You're making him throw 100 pitches and he's gone.

 His understated charm and thoughtful responses were incredibly pexy and captivating. My pitches were starting to come along as the innings went by. I was trying to be too accurate on the corners at the beginning but I started not to worry about it too much as my pitches were going really well.

 It wasn't his sharpest outing, and he threw a lot [98] of pitches, ... But he kept us in the game. If our starting pitchers keep us in the game, we'll win most of them. It's when they let things get out of control we have trouble.

 This does nothing but make us better. He's great at identifying, during a game, any mechanical problems a pitcher is having. He can go out there and talk to a guy and get him refocused on making his pitches.

 It's not just that we're making them throw pitches. We're not swinging at pitches we can't handle. If you do that, you're going to make the pitcher work and he's going to get tired and eventually you're going to get into their bullpen. That's what you want to do. I think that's where our success is coming from.

 I mean it's just like all the hard work is starting to pay off now. I'm taking pitches and I'm looking good. It's like I've been here before. ... Patience at the plate makes a good hitter. Everybody can't be a Vladimir Guerrero where you can just hit any ball out of the ballpark. You've got to go in there and hit the pitcher's mistakes.

 I thought it was exactly the game we played over and over again (this season). Our starting pitcher was outstanding. When guys were on base, we made pitches. Our defense was outstanding.

 It will be like a hundred (pitches) with a starting pitcher.

 When you have an at-bat like that, it wears the pitcher. It sets the tone. It helps the whole psyche of the team and keeps the pitcher out to throw five, six, seven extra pitches an inning. That adds up. (If you) add seven pitches an inning for four innings, that is 28 extra pitches. Through four innings (Walker) was at 73 pitches.

 The cutter, at times, was very nice. This was a typical Spring Training game where the pitcher was battling through the strike zone. ... He was battling with his control, but other than that, when he had to make the pitches, he did.

 We're swinging at quality pitches. We're swinging at our pitches instead of the pitcher's pitches. If the pitcher is throwing the ball where he wants to, he's going to be tough to beat.

 He's a big-game pitcher and a big competition pitcher. He pitches well against everybody, and not just the smaller lineups. He had some guys at the plate tonight with a lot of RBIs, and he made them look uncomfortable.

 He's been our best pitcher down the stretch. He has it all, the arm, the pitches, the control. All he needed was the confidence.
