Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.
Frank Robinson

Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.
Joe Torre
Image
Pitchers are going to break. You can limit their pitches and limit their innings, and they're still going to blow out. Pitching is hard on the arm.
Bruce Sutter
Image
Quarterbacks have to ask the crowd to quiet down. Pitchers never do.
Thomas Boswell
Image
It's easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they're saying that they don't respect you. You have to change their thinking.
Eric Davis
Image
There are a lot of pitchers in baseball who should celebrate his life and what he did for the game of baseball.
Tommy John
Image
Twenty games is the magic figure for pitchers - .300 is the magic figures for batters. It pays off in salary and reputation. And those are the two things that keep a ballplayer in business.
Warren Spahn
Image
Primarily, every rule change over the past ten years has been against the pitchers - lowering the mound and the designated hitter.
Gaylord Perry
Image
All pitchers are liars or crybabies.
Yogi Berra
Image
I could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they're in a jam, a lot of pitchers...try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.
Greg Maddux

I think about how a guy mentally prepared himself to do battle, to go out and face the pitcher. I think so many hitters do not know how to get themselves prepared to play or hit against a pitcher. You have to mentally be prepared to hit against all pitchers.
Hank Aaron
Image
I think the thing I'm most excited about is the fact that I was able to, for the most part, change pitchers' mindsets about what kind of hitter I am.
Jeff Francoeur
Image
All pitchers are born pitchers.
Joe DiMaggio

You have to understand what they (pitchers) do. That's my job. You have to find a way to get them through the game if they're not feeling good. When everything is going good and they're feeling one-hundred percent, it's my job to keep them that way. And you know what? If I see something, I'm going to let them know.
Jorge Posada

You had to pitch in and out. The zone didn't belong to the hitters it belonged to the pitchers. Today, if you pitch too far inside, the umpire would stop you right there. I don't think it's fair.
Juan Marichal
Image
Preparation is very important. The pitcher is going to do his job and prepare for you so you as a hitter must do the same. I always watch videotape of pitchers before the game and even sometimes during.
Albert Pujols
Image
Nobody's bigger than the game of baseball. You ask pitchers from 10-15-20 years ago. That's normal. Part of the game.
Ken Rosenthal

No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square.
Andre Agassi
Image
The spitter wasn't hard to hit when you knew a pitcher could throw it legally. But the guys to worry about were the pitchers who sneaked over the illegal spitter after the pitch was outlawed.
Luke Appling
Image
Rules or no rules, pitchers are going to throw spitters. It's a matter of survival.
Bob Gibson

Certain guys are like relief pitchers they come off the bench, they don’t know when they’re playing – you come in and you just go. Certain guys, they like to start they like to start the game and play. I believe Kirk Cousins is a reliever. I don’t know if he’s a starter.
Marshall Faulk
Image
There are only two things a manager needs to know: When to change pitchers and how to get along with your players.
Bucky Harris
Image
A team of giants needs giant pitchers who throw good ideas but every pitcher needs an outstanding catcher. Without giant catchers, the ideas of the giant pitchers may eventually disappear.
Max De Pree

I knew when the ball was going out (over the Green Monster). It was something I worked into the decoy, but it used to tick the pitchers off. Bill Monbouquette used to say, 'Can't you at least make it look like you can catch it?' Meanwhile, the ball would be on its way over the fence to a spot three-quarters of the way out to the railroad tracks.
