[Mulder, using his splitfinger fastball in place of his malfunctioning changeup on Sept. 6, 2000, threw six innings and allowed two earned runs - both on solo home runs - as the Athletics defeated the Red Sox 6-4. The split has been key since.] I came back with that in 2001, and it was my money pitch, ... It became so much more because the more I threw it, the more comfortable with it I became. And then I started throwing it harder, and it started moving a little more. - Mark Mulder Quotes

I struck out two of the guys on two sinkers in, looking, and the other was on a splitter. I didn't make any pitches like that last year. It's just one start. I understand that. - Mark Mulder Quotes

I think every pitcher, if you don't go out there expecting to win, expecting to do well, then you shouldn't be going out there, ... You've got to be ready for these situations and you've got to thrive on it. You want to go out there for the big game. - Mark Mulder Quotes

It's amazing, in that situation, that they even pitch to him. He already has two homers. What's he going to do, hit another one? Well, he did. - Mark Mulder Quotes

I can get full extension in my arms and move it from side to side. It only hurts when I tilt it back and look up. I'll have to see how it feel tomorrow. - Mark Mulder Quotes

There wasn't much different, ... A few pitches up, a few pitches that got hit over the middle of the plate. I just didn't get it done. There's no way around it. - Mark Mulder Quotes

Nobody gets skipped here. Our fifth guy in Oakland had it tough. He didn't know when he was pitching. He didn't know how to go about things. It's great how we've had it going this year. - Mark Mulder Quotes

I don't see that the strike zone as different. I don't see that there's any stigma of American or National League as a player. The only real difference I see is that, in the American League, seven guys in the lineup will swing for homers. In the National, it's only about four. The rest of them will hit the other way or do whatever. - Mark Mulder Quotes

Compared to what it was yesterday, it's 100 per cent better, but it's still not good enough. I still can't quite look far enough to pick up the catcher. - Mark Mulder Quotes

To me, it seems like the same lineup as last year. But they're obviously pitching a lot better. When you put together some pitching and all of a sudden get a little more confidence, I think it says a lot for a team. - Mark Mulder Quotes
