I Like To Think Of The World's

Im A Finesse Pitcher Without The Finesse.

Part Of What Makes You Great As A Young Player Can Hurt You At The End Of Your Career, In Terms Of You Need A Certain Amount Of Ego, A Certain Amount Of Arrogance To Be Able To Play Well And To Push Yourself And Trick Yourself Into Thinking You're Better Than You Really Are.

I've Always Noticed How The Fenway Fans Get Behind The Pitcher, Especially Late In The Game If You're Having A Good Game, Or If You Have Two Strikes On A Hitter, They Really Start To Chant And Anticipate A Strikeout. And That's The Best Part About Playing In Boston And At Fenway. There Are Knowledgeable Fans Who Anticipate The Flow Of The Game And They Can Really Help Out The Pitcher.

My Buddy David Wells Is A Big Motorcycle Guy, So When I Go Visit Him In San Diego, He Takes Me Out On His Bike. He's Got Some Antique Indians. I Never Really Rode During My Career, Because I Was Afraid I'd Fall Off And Ruin My Career.

We Just Kind Of Relied On Written Scouting Reports Through The Eighties And Even The Early Nineties. I've Really Been Amazed By Some Of The Data That's Out There, Especially With Regards To Tendencies Of Hitters, And Certainly Tendencies Of Pitchers As Well. I Would Have Loved To Have Gotten That Data When I Played.
