Roger Clemens Pitching Quotations

My legs felt fine, ... I still need to get a little more strength in my lower half, but I think Jim Hickey, our pitching coach, and the skipper were happy with the way I was getting out over my front leg. So it makes a big difference; without the burning sensation in my leg, it was a lot nicer. My control was still off, and I think that was what was aggravating me a little early.

I was pitching 100 percent. I was on edge as much as anybody because we were kind of back into the corner a little bit. So I don't care who it is you're facing in this tournament.

I was pitching 100 percent at this time of year regardless.

I was pitching 100% at this time of year regardless. It was my job after the guys came out and put the numbers on the board -- threw strikes, not walk anybody, get them back in and swinging the bat a little bit.

What I featured out there is not good enough to get it done. It just seemed like I was pitching out of the stretch a lot. I tried to battle and make pitches and be as stingy as I could ... but they broke it open.

I'm going to kick back and watch some baseball. I'm not ready to commit. Even being at home and pitching in Houston was a tough grind. ... Right now, I'm not interested in getting in there and locking in on this. If it works out and I can just fade away, that's what's going to happen.

I planned on pitching the whole time, ... No way I was going to run out on the team.

I was pitching on all adrenaline and challenging them. I was throwing the ball right down the heart of the plate.
