Chisoxfn Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 - Says this year has been fun and that this year he's throwing more strikes, getting ahead of hitters, so guys can't just sit back and wait on a certain pitch. He says the reason for this is he's trying to attack a hitter, instead of trying to pitch around. Says part of it has to do with confidence with not only him but the whole team. Everyone's confident. - Says you know when you have good stuff during the pen, but it doesn't really mean much. - He feeds off the other starters and watches and listens to them and everyone does. - This year everyones getting along and there is great chemistry in the clubhouse. Says he doesn't know if you have to like each other, but it definately helps (they asked him how much chemistry matters) - The Twins are a good ball team with great chemistry and they aren't going to sit around, they'll play hard and come after the Sox. Says if the Sox can't take care of business, then they won't make the playoffs - Asked JG about Ozzie/Thomas situation and had no idea what they were talking about. Basically said what Ozzie says is what he says, he's honest. - Ozzie is a great manager and you wouldn't recognize him as the manager if you just walked into the clubhouse. He has a good time and keeps everyone loose. - They asked him about the fans...said he thought it was the weather that kept the fans yesterday. Feels once the weather gets better you'll see the fans. - Says the Cubs/Sox isn't a rivarly until they play them and you always want to win those games. - Says the pitch got away when he threw it behind Rondell. If he was in Rondell's shoes he wouldn't of gotten that made, he didn't hit him. Says if you want to come to the mound he's gonna defend himself (not that he's guarantee he'll hurt you) and that Rondell didn't scare him. - Growing up he watched the Dodgers and was a fan of Hershisher but doens't try to emulate any of them. On the bottom of the caption it says "Best Pitcher in the American League" in case anyone is curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I looked to see if he was smiling when he siad it, but he kind of kept a straight face. He didn't do the best job selling it though...and ya, no doubt that pitch was intentional imo, but just don't say it, I don't want him getting a suspension.

doUrememberwhen Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Actually, I was a sinker-ball/2-seam pitcher and like to think my control was top notch, and it happened to me all the time. It's as simple as too losse a grips over the leather and the ball can fly 20 feet to the right. I gotta believe him just because of my experience. jmho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 HE was just saying the right thing in the situation, but everyone knows he was throwing at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Thanks a bunch for posting that Jason, I didn't catch the thread until just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doUrememberwhen Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 HE was just saying the right thing in the situation, but everyone knows he was throwing at him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OKAY, well if we want to talk about his "impeccable" control, I think think he would have drilled him if he wanted, but maybe he didn't want a baserunner and was just sending a message. Either way y throw a 2 seamer when u can just hurl a heater at his head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
