“Today, my main focus wasn't as much on mechanics as much as just slowing myself down. I get a little anxious, especially with my slider, because I haven't been throwing it a lot. I tried to get into a better rhythm throughout, and when I got to my slider, I felt a little more locked in.”
Carl Pavano
“This is a mechanical job. You have to be able to execute the mechanics of this job. It's a zero-tolerance thing. That's the best way I can put it, ... It requires perfection or almost perfection. If you can't come close enough to that, then things are going to change.”
Bill Parcells
“We talked a lot about mechanics. Being tall, when something mechanical can go wrong, it goes wrong in a hurry. We talked about what he watches out for and the things he does in his bullpen sessions. It was good stuff.”
Matt Thornton
“I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.”
Barry Zito
“Getting over the fact of not watching what he does mechanically and focusing on where [the ball] comes from, I think that's the key.”
Brad Wilkerson
“Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesn't play dice”
Albert Einstein
“Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.”
