A player after my own heart!

By

Jaime Garcia.  He was interviewed on MLB or XM radio.  They asked him about his extreme home/road splits.  He essentially said this:

Of course I like pitching at home.  The crowd, I sleep in my own bed.  But I really have no idea why I’ve been so much better at home.  All pitchers have bad and good starts. I just happened to have had a lot of my bad starts on the road. I don’t care where I pitch. I’m not going to do anything differently.

An aspiring saberist or just a smart guy?  He’ll never get a color commentator job, though, with intelligent insight like that!
