Randy Johnson Year Quotations

Last year was a good learning process. I learned a lot about what I need to adjust to this coming year. That's why I'm coming into this year feeling a lot more relaxed.

Mechanically, I've struggled all year long with my arm angle, with my velocity and my effectiveness. That stems from poor mechanics. Tonight, I felt really comfortable on the mound.

Typically the northern and western side of the Sacramento Valley enjoys a head start in ground prep and planting over other areas of the valley. My son and I drove up I-5 to Willows and were amazed at the amount of water and its depth out in the fields. Usually this time of the year in this part of the valley, tractors are everywhere preparing the fields for planting.

I've pitched some good games this year where I haven't been that animated, that locked in,

The more consistent I get, the more comfortable I get, it's fun to go out there and be that locked into a game. It's been a while. I've pitched some good games this year where I haven't been locked in. That's the ingredient I've been missing.

I'm increasingly more comfortable this year because everything is where it needs to be right now as opposed to last year. Overall I feel good. I'm excited about where I'm at right now. Hopefully everything will go well and smooth for the team, but that's not always the case.

I love this kind of stuff. Obviously, it's starting to pan out to be the kind of year I was hoping for. Even in my best years, I've had some bad games. I'm extremely focused and realize I have one more start.

If you're worried about what happened last year, I mean I suppose there's certain things you could take from last year that will help you this year. I think you've got to put everything aside from last year. This is a new year.
