Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.
Joe Torre
Image
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
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
I didn't feel empty. I wished I'd felt empty. ... I wanted to be empty like an overturned pitcher. But I was full like a stone.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Image
The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage in weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting.
Hank Aaron
Image
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
Image
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
If you are used to going five innings and then go six or seven, you won't have your good stuff. They need to start that from the minor leagues and give pitchers strong arms.
Juan Marichal
Image
I always tried to watch the pitcher and his complete windup from the moment he had the ball in his glove all the way through his motion, and tried to follow it all the way out of his hand, all the way to home plate.
Harmon Killebrew
Image
Do not be deceived by the outward appearance of age or youth - a new pitcher may be full of good, old wine, while an old one may be totally empty.
Judah the Prince
Image
In baseball, even the best hitters fail seven of ten times, and of those seven failures there are different reasons why. Some are personal failures, others are losses to the pitcher. You just get beat. In those personal failures, I felt I could have done better.
Ichiro Suzuki
Image
The Yankees have better starting pitchers than Arizona. Arizona just has two... the Yanks have four.
Keith Hernandez
Image
If you talk to any pitcher, consistency is the most important thing.
Jamie Moyer
Image
No matter how good the pitcher, she is still hit-able in more than one way.
Kiersten Warren
Image
I've been ignored by prettier women than you, but none who carried the heavy pitchers of silence so far, without spilling a drop.
Jeffrey McDaniel
Image
When I played, a pitcher could throw at you any time he wanted to. In fact, he could tell you he was going to throw at you, and there was nothing said. You had to take it. If he hit ya, he hit ya.
Lloyd Waner
Image
If you had a pill that would guarantee a pitcher 20 wins, but might take five years off his life, he'd take it.
Jim Bouton
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
Momentum is your next day's pitcher.
Jim Leyland
Image
I'm not used to seeing the ball go wherever she wants. As a pitcher, I like to be - I don't want to say perfect, but I want to know what the ball is going to do.
Mariano Rivera
Image
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again.
Jimmy Piersall
Image
If I'm a pitcher, my only point would be that if I'm a relief pitcher, I think I like the idea of warming up on the field.
Joe Maddon
Image
I'm big on feel, and I think it can help a relief pitcher gain feel before he goes into the game.
Joe Maddon
Image
When I played football, basketball and baseball, I was always a starter. I played baseball as the number three or number four hitter. Playing baseball, I was the third baseman or pitcher. Football, I was the quarterback. I was always versatile. It came to me naturally. It was always easy.
