Eric Chavez Pitches Quotations

He was throwing strikes with his off-speed pitches. That is fine the first few times through the order. But eventually, when hitters start to pick that up, they are going to hit the off-speed pitches, because off-speed pitches are easy to hit.

I think he threw a lot of pitches down the middle of the plate that we popped up.

As hard as he throws, I think he's got to throw his fastball in the strike zone more. Then he can pitch off his fastball. Every successful pitcher in this game pitches off the fastball.

That was a big at-bat, it really hurt us. I was looking for a pitch to drive. For whatever reason I've been popping up a lot of pitches this year. Hopefully starting tomorrow I'll get some more chances to redeem myself.

It's how I feel at the plate and what pitches I'm taking. I'm looking at what pitches I don't swing at. The numbers in spring don't mean anything. I'm not even mentally into it. I'm just going through the motions until April.
