Paul Gregory Byrdis an American former professional baseball right-handed starting pitcher. He pitched in Major League Baseball from 1995 to 2009. He is known, perhaps ironically, as being the "nicest guy in baseball". In 2002, Byrd developed an old-fashioned, early twentieth-century windup in which he swung his arms back and forth to create deception and momentum. He became recognizable and well known for his unique delivery...
anybody ball key locate nobody throw
I was able to locate the ball; that is the key for me. If I can locate the ball, I can get anybody out. If I throw the ball over the middle, I get nobody out.
dugout gives signal throw
He gives me the signal from the dugout through the catcher. There's times when you throw over there on your own and times, ... when you don't have a choice.
control good home performance stop strikes throw throwing walking
I just wanted to throw strikes and give a good performance. If I get beat, I want it to be throwing strikes, not walking people. After the Shelton home run, I was able to stop overthrowing and get my control settled.
behind count falling gets guy throw walked walking
I'm not a guy who gets behind in the count a lot. That's what's been so frustrating, falling behind and walking guys. But I'm not going to throw 10 years away because I walked some guys.
beat guys throw tried walk
I just tried to throw strikes. If I get beat, I want them to beat me. I don't want to walk guys like I did in my first two outings.
arm definitely due expect fatigue felt hoping lack last late personally rebound start throw
I definitely felt some fatigue in my last start in Chicago, but I'm hoping that was due to a lack of rest, ... I personally don't throw that hard. I'm not a max-effort pitcher, so I expect my arm to rebound well and be able to go late into the game.
chance chills cleveland drafted finally mark pitch signed suit talked
When I signed here, Mark and I talked about how I'd finally be able to pitch for him and the Indians. Someone said, 'He was drafted by Cleveland 15 years ago, and he's finally going to get a chance to suit up for that team.' I kind of got the chills when I read that.

I didn't watch any video, didn't see any Warren Spahn video. That's just the way it came about.
against credit excited four fun good great job miss score scoring sign team
I didn't want to be down 1-0, but our team did a great job of scoring for me. Moyer usually does real well against us, so I think it's a good sign that we scored four off him. That's a credit to our offence. We can score in many different ways. I was really excited for Vlade. He's really fun to watch. You don't want to miss any of his at-bats.
anywhere care help pitch spot
I don't care what spot I pitch in the rotation. I can help anywhere they put me.

Mentally, we could have fallen apart, but this team doesn't do that. We could have had the attitude that we're snake-bit, but we didn't.
