But maybe these quotes are randomly generated and unrelated to performance?

I never visit the mound so I have no experience with this. But I wouldn't believe them. You have the fatigue meter which by all appearances correctly reports the results of the interaction between the stamina rating and pitch count. So the talk looks like flavor to me.
