Randy Johnson Work Quotations

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

Obviously, it's a nice honor, but there's a lot of work between now and then.

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.

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

You get a little bit over the rubber, rushing a little bit, and then your arm seems to drop down. It's been a long process, a long year, a frustrating year. But that's been the problem and I'll continue to work on it.

It's been unfortunate with Jorge that he first caught the flu and then broke his nose. I've had my last five games being caught by Kelly, but whoever is back there, I'll do my best and be focused. It would have been nice to have had the body of my work caught by Jorge, so he would have had a feel for what's been going on with my pitches.

In my younger days in Seattle, I used to get rattled pretty easily; those emotions would work against me. I think over the years, I've learned how to deal with that and have them work for me.

It's spring training and we want to see what's working, there's going to be games or innings where I decide to just work on this pitch or that pitch, even if we get racked around. Six games, there's not a lot of time to work on everything. I've got a job to do and I just need to go out there and do things and get ready to do it when the bell rings.

It was basically a matter of a feel thing. It wasn't getting work in. It was just to get the feel of what you want to accomplish, and I got that in 35 pitches.

It's just a matter of let's work together and get the job done because the bottom line is winning ballgames.

It's been a long and frustrating year. But if that's been the problem, hopefully I'll continue to work hard on it and pitch the way I did today.

It's been a long year, a frustrating year. But if that's been the problem, I'll continue to work hard on it. To pitch the way I did today, that's the reason why, I believe. Having inconsistent mechanics resulted in inconsistent velocity and inconsistent arm angles. The bottom line is, I've been inconsistent on the mound.

Got my work in today, I'll move on and just continue to try and get better every time I go out there. By the end of spring training hopefully I'll be pleased with where I'm at.
