KNBR Conversation with SF Giants pitcher Jake Peavy

An edited transcript of a conversation with Giants’ starting pitcher Jake Peavy:

What’s the coolest thing about the All-Star experience?

Mac was a part of some plays early that he wished he could’ve had back, but he’s really come along, and after the play he made on the Fourth of July, I was ready to take him into my house.

What’s been the difference for you the last several starts? I’ve heard you use the phrase “Less is more.”

Early, I had that animosity of wanting to “take the bull by the horns,” and pitching behind Jeff Samardzija — he’s so aggressive.

Even though I’m an emotional guy, there’s a thought process behind what I do, there’s a game plan that I stick to.

[...] when you get older it becomes even more important to stay under control and make sure my body’s in proper mechanics so I can execute at a high level.
