Slider Quotes


You're trying to get that golf swing going and trying to get it up in the air... [Weathers] threw a pretty nasty pitch the first strike. He probably hung that slider and I missed it, and 0-2 you're just battling. He threw a close one in on me. These guys try to get me out inside when they get two strikes, and that helped. I know that. - Todd Walker


You basically should not throw a breaking ball, any type of breaking ball, including a slider, until you shave. - James Andrews


When Lidge is on the mound, throwing 90 [mph] sliders, he eats righties up... We needed a base hit there, and Chavez puts the ball in play. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I couldn't have done much different to get Howard up on the righty [in the seventh]. - Charlie Manuel


When his arm speed comes back, his slider is going to be close to what it used to be, and we saw that (Monday). If he comes in (today) and feels good, we are probably looking at a three-inning game in the rookie league in Arizona on Thursday. After that, we'd like to get him up to four or five innings and think about where we've got to go with him. - Larry Rothschild


When (right-hander) Lidge is on the mound, throwing 90 miles-per-hour sliders, he eats righties up... We needed a base hit there. We didn't need a home run. Chavez puts the ball in play. The more I thought about it, more I realized I couldn't have done much different to get Howard up on the righty (in the seventh). - Charlie Manuel


We've had pitchers throw into the sixth inning in our last seven ball games. And he's set an example because his biggest problem last year was his conditioning. He ran out of gas a lot. But he's gotten stronger, and he's gotten a little more bite on his slider, and that's given him a lot more confidence when he comes to the mound. That's the biggest difference in his game this year. - Tom Callahan


Well, he's got good stuff. He throws the ball hard. He has a good slider, has a good breaking ball and the ball moves. Right now he's pretty well in a low strike zone on his pitches. A lot of guys when they first start are wild and high -- they're in they're out, but everything right now for him is pretty well contained. He's throwing the ball well. - Ron Guidry


Well, as everybody can see, he's got an electric fastball... He's got a good slider. He has a very good curveball, and his location tonight was excellent. - Phil Garner


We'll sit down and watch tomorrow to see if he was tipping. We really don't know. You get in the heat of battle and things happen. He might have been squeezing his glove on a slider or squeezing it on a fastball. We don't know. - Kelly Stinnett
