“I always wanted to get up here, contribute and throw strikes. I feel mechanically, I'm getting to where I want to be. I wouldn't say I'm all the way there yet, but I've made a lot of progress.”
Zach Day
“He's just inconsistent with his rhythm and his mechanics. He's good enough to be there if he's throwing strikes. He's hurting himself by not throwing strikes.”
Dave Rowell
“I'm comfortable with all my pitches. I'm throwing strikes and that's the bottom line. My mechanics are the biggest thing and I feel like I'm able to hit my spots now.”
Randy Johnson
“I've been feeling good. I think I've made some mechanical adjustments that have really helped me out.”
Dave Bush
“I've been changing my mechanics around in the last three or four starts, and I finally found something. It feels a little bit weird when I first break the ball from my glove, but I'm hiding the ball a lot longer. It's a lot better as far as getting strikeouts. I had to build my arm strength up for a different way of throwing.”
Roy Oswalt
“With him, it's all about getting his mechanics together. Every pitch he throws seems to be thrown at a different arm angle, and we're working to get that changed. Once that happens, watch out.”
Spin Williams
“I don't think he ever had a real good feel for his mechanics and release point. Whether it was related to the ball hitting him in the knee or not, I don't know. He always battles you, whether he has his best stuff or not. He has an ability to focus even when he's in pain. It was just a day when the Cardinals were better than us.”
