“It was a 2-1 count, so I was sitting fastball. He had just thrown me a curve. I got a knee-high fastball and hit it right on the button.”
Ben Muniz
“For people who have... had curve balls thrown at them, it is easier to digest change and digest change in other people. Change only scares the small-minded. The small-minded and me.”
Casey Affleck
“I don't throw the slider and I haven't really thrown the slow curve anymore. I can't throw to bases anymore. It used to be the easiest thing in the world to do.”
Zack Greinke
“I kept looking for Hilliard to throw his curve, but he kept throwing me fastballs. So I kept taking good hacks at them.”
Justin Lane
“He threw mostly fastballs and mixed in a little curve. We just didn't hit the ball very well. He throws pretty hard, hit some good spots and got us to chase pitches a little bit.”
Steve Rice
“My changeup, curve and sinker were good. I'm just waiting on the fastball. I need more velocity and I know it's going to come. After I take time off and start throwing again, there's a period when you work through the shoulder soreness. I'm at that point now. I'm right on schedule for the Classic. The fastball should be there for me in Puerto Rico.”
Calvin Maduro
“I saw him on TV. He's got a good curve, a sneaky fastball and he pitches inside. I was impressed. But we're going to attack him. You don't give him too much respect. He's a young player, and you've got to attack him. You don't let him get too comfortable.”
