Tim Hudson Pitch Quotations

Everybody knows him as pretty easy going and a practical joker when he was a player. I think it will be a little more fun in the bullpen area. It's going to be about learning how to pitch and having fun while you're doing it, not so much walking on eggshells down there.

That's how baseball is, ... It's one of those games where I didn't pitch good enough and we didn't hit good enough. The young guy over there did a great job.

It'll come around. We're just going through a little rough stretch. We know we can pitch better than we have.

It's definitely not his fault. He's been really approachable for the young guys. He knows what it takes to pitch at this level. He knows what he's talking about.

I want to lessen his workload this year, whether it's pitch opening day or work after him, so he doesn't have to do what he did last year. That's the main goal.
