Absolutely. When you're pitching well, and you're pitching with good tempo, the guys will make the plays behind you. You might get away with a bad pitch because you have good tempo and you have that look in your eyes. I'm glad I figured it out now instead of July.
More Quotes from Rich Hill:
It's great it says a lot for the organization. Each one of us has come up through the system. You have to give a lot of credit to the pitching coaches and the hard work they put in with us. It's big for us and just as big for them to see us come up here and be at this level.Rich Hill
I think overall, it was pretty poor. It wasn't a very good outing. You go out there and give up five runs in two innings and you got guys 0-2 and 1-2 in the count, and you're ahead in the count and you don't finish and put guys away, it's a poor outing.

It's something I had to pull out of myself and get it going. That's why we're here for Spring Training. You figure those things out. The first two weeks, I had my head up my rear end. I pulled it out and finally figured it out. It's not going to happen again. I won't let it happen.

I think it was more internal. Sometimes people don't want to perform to the level they should be performing at for some reason. I've been thinking about it and your integrity is so important. When you go out there, no matter who's up or you're facing, you still have to go after them with the same intensity. In the final stage, that's where your integrity is going to be saved.

It was a great time growing up in the '70s. I was just one of those kids, throwing a tennis ball against the garage door, shooting hoops until my mom yelled at me to come in late at night. I always knew at some point I was going to be a coach, and I knew it was going to be baseball.
