Mike Matheny Great Quotations

The young pitching is really impressive. Cain is as good as I've seen at his stage of development. Brad Hennessey (5-8, 4.64) has made big strides. It's been great working with these guys, very gratifying, because they're so willing to learn.

So much of me feeling that I did my job goes hand in hand with how the pitching does. We had some tough times this year. In that regard, no, I didn't feel I did (deserve the Gold Glove). I do appreciate the fact the managers and the coaches in the league appreciate what I do bring to the table. It's a great honor.

That's why you keep veteran pitchers around. Those guys don't get too worked up. They're ready for any situation. He comes in, and the first is a great pitch and he gets out of the inning. Then he gets us rolling, and after our big inning he keeps his composure and gets a shutdown inning. He did that a lot last year. He's ageless.
