Tom Glavine Guys Quotations

The baseball fights, you don't ever see the squaring off like you do in hockey, and in some instances, that's where baseball fights can be potentially more dangerous because you've got guys running all over the place and people throwing punches at you that you don't even see half the time.

In a hockey fight, barring the occasional brawl, there's actually some etiquette that goes into it. Honor, too, absolutely. Most of those guys that do it, that's their job, and they follow a certain code of conduct in doing it.

We feel the money is going to have a real impact with those organizations. Most of our guys have stepped up for a great cause.

I think we got a glimpse of why we brought in the guys we did and what they can give us. Today was an indication of how we were built and what we can do.

I think a lot of guys at some point and time show some variation of that pitch.

I was tired. Striking out all those guys is a lot of work. That's just not my game. That's three games worth of strikeouts for me, but it's fun.

I was tired (in the fifth). Striking a lot of guys out is hard work. I realized in the fifth I didn't have a lot of ground outs.

With all the guys in our lineup, you have to pitch to somebody.

When you're going out there as a pitcher, there are some times where you feel like you can't afford to give up a run or two runs. That carries a lot of pressure. With the way we're set up right now, you don't figure that to be the case. You figure that these guys are going to score some runs, they're going to play defense and we know we've got a great bullpen coming in behind us.

We're trying to make a name for the 40-and-older crowd. It's good to see guys with our style of pitching still doing it and doing pretty well.

We all want to know what his secret is. But you know, who's to say what old is anymore? A lot of guys are playing longer than they ever thought they would, myself included. Age doesn't mean what it used to in baseball.

You see guys fill in roles every year.

You're looking at a game of more and more power pitchers, and quite honestly, you got to figure those guys are more susceptible to getting hurt. It'll be interesting to see how many of those guys are able to pitch long enough to even come close to having a chance to do it.

There seemed to be an effort in the early '90s to kind of do away with it. You were seeing guys get in trouble or talked to if they were seen smoking on TV.
