  • My goal is to get outs as soon as I can. Strikeouts aren't that big a deal to me.

    Goal   Bigs   Strikeouts  
  • Casey wanted us to stay loose. That didn't mean clowning around. He just meant we should be confident and relaxed. We shouldn't feel that one strikeout was going to end the season for us.

  • Do I want someone to get more hits than me? No. Do I want someone to hit more home runs than me? No. Do I want someone to have more RBI than me? No. I get a kick out of seeing the all-time leaders and my name's on top of every one, with the exception of strikeouts. I get a kick out of that.

    Baseball   Mean   Years  
  • The only time I really try for a strikeout is when I'm in a jam. If the bases are loaded with none out, for example, then I'll go for a strikeout. But most of the time I try to throw to spots. I try to get them to pop up or ground out. On a strikeout I might have to throw five or six pitches, sometimes more if there are foul-offs. That tires me. So I just try to get outs. That's what counts - outs. You win with outs, not strikeouts.

    "My Greatest Day in Baseball, and Baseball's Greatest Quotations: An Illustrated Treasury". Book by Paul Dickson, 2008.
  • If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.

    Winning   Gone   Arms  
  • I was never a strikeout pitcher. Why should I throw eight or nine balls to get a man out when I got away with three or four?

    Men   Eight   Nine  
  • I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

  • I don't try for strikeouts, but batters just swing and miss. I'd exchange strikeouts for more innings. As a starter, my job is to go deep into the game. When you get strikeouts, you throw a lot of pitches and sometimes you come out early.

  • Each strikeout brings me closer to my next homerun.

  • Babe Ruth was the home-run king of his time, but also the strikeout king.

  • He's going for the home run, I'm going for the grand slam. If he gets a lot of strikeouts, I'm getting a shutout. I just have that positivity, that mentality that I can conquer whatever he gives out.

  • I drove nice cars, I got a nice house. But now I'm steady missing you like a strikeout

    Break Up   Breakup   Nice  
    Song: Missin' You
  • It gave me no chance. He (Nolan Ryan) just blew it (strikeout #5,000) by me. But its an honor. I'll have another paragraph in all the baseball books. I'm already in the books three or four times.

  • You never go into a season thinking you're going to strike out 200 guys or that you would have the most double-digit strikeout games in the big leagues, or anything like that. You just try to win, and the outing becomes what the outing becomes.

    "Master of the Knuckleball". Interview with Jeremy Stahl, www.slate.com. October 29, 2012.
  • I've never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.

  • I've always noticed how the Fenway fans get behind the pitcher, especially late in the game if you're having a good game, or if you have two strikes on a hitter, they really start to chant and anticipate a strikeout. And that's the best part about playing in Boston and at Fenway. There are knowledgeable fans who anticipate the flow of the game and they can really help out the pitcher.

    Baseball   Relief   Needs  
  • I was in the show for 21 days once-the 21 greatest days of my life. You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, somebody else carries your bags. It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains.

    "Fictional character: Crash Davis". "Bull Durham", www.imdb.com. 1988.
  • Fall forward. Here's what I mean: Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his career - the most in the history of baseball. But you don't hear about the strikeouts. People remember the home runs. Fall forward. Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I didn't either - because number 1,001 was the light bulb. Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
