Curt Schilling Physical Quotations

For the first time since April 2004, there really is no physical limit to getting ready for me. That's a big difference.

Today was probably as bad a fastball physically as I've felt like I've had all spring. Regardless of my emotions coming out of this game or how I feel about everything. I've got to be ready to go Monday.

I know there are a lot of people that don't want to hear it, but when I look back on it, stuff-wise, that's every bit as good as I threw the ball last year from a pure physical standpoint, ... Every time I needed to reach back, I felt like I did and had something extra on the ball. I had all four of my pitches. I just didn't pitch well. I'm not used to that. I'm not used to feeling that good and not pitching well. That was kind of odd for me.

He's been doing that every inning he's thrown this year. He's maturing physically and mentally -- every pitch, every at-bat. He's thinking and he's not thinking too much. He's thinking just enough and he's making adjustments. He's making them on the fly. When you can do them with that stuff, he's going to get better fast and he's done that.

I don't think any of my questions will really get answered until the season starts. I want to believe that physically I am where I was -- or better.

I didn't feel any different physically than I have felt in the past, ... We used all my pitches. I got outs with all of them. We located better today. I think that's obvious.

If I thought about how I felt last year in my best start and ranked it, today was in a different stratosphere from a physical standpoint.
