Randy Johnson Pitcher Quotations

Unfortunately, it took a long time to fix my mechanics, ... That's the pitcher everyone expected. That's the pitcher I expected. Today my velocity was up because my mechanics were much better.

I feel like I'm 24 again. I had the game taken away from me last year. I feel rejuvenated. I've got peace of mind knowing that the knee is fine, and I'm looking forward to going out there because it's like I dropped off the radar. I was a pretty good pitcher before last year, you know.

He's a throwback pitcher from the day. The game's changed quite a bit since then, but I can still learn. If you think you know everything that's when you'll be sadly mistaken. If I can take some input that he has and apply it towards what I'm doing out there and use it, then that's a good thing.

He saw a lot of things that sometimes you don't see when you're a pitcher out there, and that's mechanics.

I think you've seen a different pitcher compared to earlier in the year. It's very evident that my mechanics are there, my velocity is there and everything is there that wasn't there on a consistent basis.

I think every pitcher pitches a little differently when they get out of Colorado, ... He's a different pitcher here and we're really getting the benefits of his performances. He's pitching the way he always knew he could out of that environment.

That's the pitcher that everybody expected and the pitcher that I expected. It's taken me awhile to find my mechanics.

That's the pitcher that everybody expected, and that's the pitcher that I'd expected.

I was barely a .500 pitcher before my dad died and I got married and had a baby... my wife and baby brought me down to earth.

It took me a long time to really find my mechanics, ... But that's the pitcher everybody expected, and that's the pitcher I expected.

The key is you don't want Damon to get on base any way. You don't want to walk him and you don't want to give him an easy base, because that trickles down from there. Then you get into the No. 2 hitter, and you get into all their power. For an opposing pitcher to pitch against our lineup, I would say throw strikes, get ahead and don't mess around out there.
