I'm getting paid by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and I have to go out and make our pitchers better, ... That's what I've been doing for five years, and that's what I'll continue to do.

When you go to Pittsburgh, you always go to see Clemente. When the Pirates come to town, you always go to his hotel. And we just talk baseball all night,

That's a Heath thing. We like our pitchers to finish what they start. We don't go out and get them every time they're struggling.

My major league debut came at old Busch Stadium on Grand Avenue in St. Louis against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I'm forever a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. Apparently I've picked the worst baseball team in the world.

We were calling pitches to pitch around Ovens, but the pitchers weren't pitching it. It's that simple. We weren't calling for fastballs down the middle with base-runners on with the best hitter on their team standing there. They couldn't hit spots, and if you couldn't hit spots, he'll hit the ball.
