Randy Johnson Good 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.

I feel like I'm 24 again. I had the game taken away from me last year. I feel rejuvenated. I've got peace of mind knowing that the knee is fine, and I'm looking forward to going out there because it's like I dropped off the radar. I was a pretty good pitcher before last year, you know.

I feel pretty good overall. When I'm out there throwing batting practice, it's just what it is, batting practice. To work on my pitches and trying to get something out of it a little bit as far as some intensity.

I felt like I was able to hit my spots. I felt like my last three starts have been good starts, and I've been able to build off those.

He's a throwback pitcher from the day. The game's changed quite a bit since then, but I can still learn. If you think you know everything that's when you'll be sadly mistaken. If I can take some input that he has and apply it towards what I'm doing out there and use it, then that's a good thing.

I think the pieces are starting falling into place now which is good because you've got a month and a half left, so every game is important,

Whirlpool has a lot of work to do, but long-term it's going to be good for us.

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 throwing everything that I throw right now. The more I throw it, the more effective it will be. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape.

I gave up a lot of singles, and it seemed like they always had guys on base. This was a good pitchers' duel tonight with Santana.

That's probably more than I wanted to throw in four innings. But the velocity on my fastball increased, and that's a good sign. My mechanics were a little better, too.

It's nice to know that with good mechanics, I can have a game like this. Now it's just a matter of going out and stringing them together.

We won 55 ball games in eight years, and that's a good record for anybody. My only regret - that 4-5 season sticks in my craw. I'm retiring as a coach, and I feel good about my retirement.

I felt the camera incident was a bad start. I wanted to make a good first impression. From that point on I was kinda walking on eggshells (with the media). I made myself accessible but I didn't feel as if I had a whole lot of breathing room after I made a major mistake.
