Everyone has limits. You just have to learn what your own limits are and deal with them accordingly Picture Quote #1

You don’t face Nolan Ryan without your rest. He’s the only guy I go against that makes me go to bed before midnight Picture Quote #1
Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don’t like it when someone’s stuffing it into you by the gallon. That’s what it feels like when Nolan Ryan’s thrown balls by you Picture Quote #1

Put the right pitching mechanics together with good health, and there’s nothing surprising about lasting a long time Picture Quote #1
You’ve got to realize that in any competition there is always a winner and loser. When it turns out that you’re the loser on a given day, you can be a graceful loser, but it doesn’t mean that you’re a loser in the sense that you’re willing to accept losses readily. Concede that on that day you weren’t the best and that you were beaten in competition. But that should make you more dedicated and hard working. It’s wrong to accept defeat as a loser. Be graceful about losing, but don’t accept it Picture Quote #1
I grew up with the thought that I wanted to treat people the way I’d like to be treated, and I think if you do that, it’s pretty hard to go wrong Picture Quote #1

Pitching in the big leagues is a dream. Preparing to pitch in the big leagues is a nightmare! Picture Quote #1
