Pitching is what you have best on the day you work, and if you can't get your fastball over the plate, then maybe you can win with your curve.
For 'Barnyard,' I did the voice of a 'chick,' which was really a blast because I had to manipulate my voice to another pitch.
Roger. Clear the tower. I got a pitch and a roll program, and this baby's really going.
My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.
I have some shorter stories coming out in other books early next year. I might be pitching a re-vamp of Ghost Rider in the spring. We'll see.
I enjoy talking pitching and talking baseball. And I don't have all the answers. I don't claim to, but I'm more than happy to share my beliefs.
I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.
I think people don't like when you're not confident about what you're pitching, and they don't want to invest in you or get behind you.

You give us the pitching some of these clubs have and no one could touch us, but God has a way of not arranging that, because it's not as much fun.
Being in music forever, I have good pitch, so I know when I'm singing in or out of tune. But the key to really good singing is just relaxing and thinking about what the song is.
In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.
There's hardly anything I've ever done that's made me cringe; I've got pretty good pitch, for a start, so I'm not known for hitting bum notes.
There was a day where I was sitting at my desk, working 90-hour work weeks, in a suit, looking at a computer, with all these pitch books on my desk, and I just thought, 'This can't be my life.'
