Throw Quotations | Page 6

Maybe we need to guard better. We probably do. They came off some screens and hit a lot of big shots. We were in a position to win if we hit a free throw and get a stop.

Mentally, I think is the key, staying mentally prepared in a number of ways. One, just visualizing that you're out there. When you're watching the game, seeing the pitch that you would throw and just trying to put yourself in the situation because it has been a while since I've thrown. That's basically what I've been doing.

My kids download 10 games. They play them all for two minutes. They throw away the eight they don't like. Then they play those last two obsessively for a month. That's alien to those of us who buy a $60 game and play it for 40 or 50 hours. The discovery mechanism is completely social, and I don't think you get that genie back in the bottle.

My leg-kick was always slow and deliberate, ... Earlier this year I started speeding up. They kept saying my velocity was down and I was trying to do something to generate it. I'm going back to the basics. If you're going to throw hard, you've got to let it happen. When you try to add on, you end up taking off.

My focus will be to put the ball in play, not strike out and move runners. I've always prided myself on being a good production guy. On defense I'll get after it. I'll throw some exciting plays in there.

My first reaction was to throw a punch because I thought he was going to come after me. You know what they say - whoever throws the first punch gets the win.

My first reaction to the doctor was I'm going to throw up. I couldn't even stomach it.

One of the things you can't hide is how a player is going to play in the most stressful conditions, when the big lights are on. You throw them into the fire, you see how they respond. You know if they're a player or not. You can just see it in their face. You can see it their confidence level. And in those two, they responded the best in the biggest game.

One defensive play, one foul or one turnover, one shot that's not finished or one missed free throw is magnified because we don't have an Antoine Wright to cover up mistakes.

One of the best things Ben does is throw the fade. The fact that they were playing man-to-man on our best receivers is reason enough to throw it, even in the rain.

Obviously, we'd love to be ahead the whole time, but if we're down by one or two goals against a great team like Sweden or Canada, we'll see it's OK. We were able to come back. For me, I'm happy it happened. We stayed composed on the bench. We didn't throw our hands up in the air.

Of course I want to make the decision harder on him, ... But the only way I can do that is by winning. If I throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns and we still lose, it won't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters.

Of course it hurt, ... We were in the mode of trying to throw the ball.

None of us is anticipating anything significant, but it is his shoulder. It's hard to believe that somebody can throw 98 mph and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't been to Mark with any complaints at all since he went to the bullpen.

No one feels worse about losing a game like that than the players and coaches in that locker room. They throw everything into it. No one felt worse than Tommy. I mean, this is a quality individual. We all understand the criticisms that come with this game and we understand that, but when you start taking it outside the field, to the house, to the kids, to me, you've crossed the line.

One thing we know is that once she gets out, she's gonna run. Both of our guards look for that. They look to throw the ball high to Kristin because she knows when they throw it up high anywhere, she's going to go up and get it.

My dream was always to throw one of the first touchdowns there. Hopefully I'll still do that." ()

My arm strength is my biggest advantage. I can throw the ball downfield well. I love playing defense too. I just love the emotion. You can get really excited when you're out there.

My arm feels better now than it has in probably a couple of years. I can throw the ball now, and it's got some life and some carry and some zip behind it, and that makes me happy.

My arm came back just as quickly as it went sore on me in 1915. I awoke one morning and learned I could throw without pain again.

My approach is going to be the same as it was with any other team during the years. I have to be able to throw strikes and try to get outs, as many outs as I can get. We'll see what happens ...

My behavior was completely unacceptable. I want everyone to know that I recognize that it is never right to throw a bat and I certainly never intended for the bat to make contact with the umpire.

My background is all comedy. I've been doing improv since I was 17. It's funny, because when I meet people, I'm known as this guy who will punch you in the face or throw you out a window, when I also have a background in comedy.

My attitude wasn't to go into the stands to hurt nobody. My attitude was to help my teammate. It just happened to be a situation that I had to throw some punches.

Monique is playing with a great deal of confidence. She's shooting the ball extremely well, getting to the free throw line, playing aggressive and rebounding the ball. I don't see a weakness in her game.

(Mora) didn't throw the breaking ball early (for a strike). Once he settled down and started throwing the curve on the first pitch, they couldn't get up there and hack at the first-pitch fastball. That changed the game.

More than anything, coming to a new organization like this, it wasn't about making the team or anything like that. I just wanted to make a good impression, be healthy and throw as well as I could. There's new eyes on you and, hopefully, I was able to open a couple of them.

My goals with these guys the first time or two they touch the ball is to throw the ball over the plate, and he did that.

My gut feeling, I thought that he was going to stay closer in this area. But you still can't throw away any facts that he could have the probability of going down there. So, we were playing both leads all the time. Who knows where he was going. I think a lot of that stuff will come out in the investigation as we backtrack.

My husband and I were born three weeks apart, and our plan had always been to throw a joint party for our 40th birthdays.

My goal for this season was to go out on the mound and put my team in position to win every time I step out there. We lost a lot of guys from last year and I knew I had to step up. I trained really hard in the fall and spring to throw as many pitches as I need to.

My family actually owns an MMA promotion company, so it's kind of a family deal. It's called Fight Sports Entertainment, and they throw amateur fights in California. Because of that, I've given my mom a lot of the fighters to fight in a show.

Maybe they throw more when they're behind out there. When we're ahead 60-0, they don't throw much.

Maybe the long inning bothered him, maybe he got tired. But no excuses, when you're up 20 runs, you throw strikes, he knows that. But he was very good in the early part of the game, so I'm not sure what happened. I liked his slider, it looked very sharp and his fastball was good.

No, I don't think anybody is going to throw anything at me from the stands and I don't see me reacting how I reacted.

Now we just have to trust that the (selection) committee will not throw our whole season down the tubes. Hopefully, they will overlook this and look at our resume from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Now there are new unions with money to throw at potential players, and you have the individuals trying to decide where they feel most comfortable and where their opportunities lie.

Now, with Jimmy Drew being a little more experienced, they should be able to throw the ball a little bit. Instead of run, run, run, what they'll do is try and lull you to sleep and bang, hit you with play action. We just have to be ready for that and mature enough to recognize it when it comes.

Next time, I'll probably throw more off-speed stuff to him.

Neil Young does throw in a major seven chord here and there, so if you're a new guitar player learning Neil Young songs, you'll learn some seven chords, and some different positions. Nothing too complicated, just enough to kind of open up your knowledge a little bit.

Obviously, this wouldn't work in power sports like football or basketball, or even with golf with 600-yard, par-5s, but it works in bowling where the pins aren't male or female and the bowlers throw 15 pounds.

Obviously, I'm happy to be with the club and I'll go out there and throw the ball the best I can, whatever the need is. It's good to feel like I'll have the opportunity to contribute.

Obviously there's an election coming up. We would like it to be free and fair. And a prerequisite of free and fair elections is that you don't beat up opposition candidates or opposition supporters and throw them in jail.

Obviously, the one inning got away from him. He didn't throw strikes. He can fine-tune that, and for him to take the next step, that's an issue he's going to have to address this season. It's always been a little bit of a rock in his shoe, the walks at times, especially the quick ones, the four-pitch ones.

Obviously the big hit was the home run, ... That was a situation when I didn't want to throw a strike and it caught a little too much of the plate.

Obviously, I wasn't trying to throw at his head.

Obviously a zone with quick guys like they have, they're not just gonna let you throw it into the post every time you want to. I guess the task is to figure out each possession what is the best thing to do.

Obviously at halftime, you don't throw up your hands and say that's it. But it was a big play and one I wish I had back.

Objectively speaking, I?m glad to look at that number. Now, if we can throw out that two- point quarter where we forgot what we were doing on offense, then I guess we?re OK.

Nothing can throw thee into the infernal abyss so much as this detested word -- heed well! -- this mine and thine.

Rex has photographers around the world - it's a higher touch business: there are a lot of relationships involved. If you throw an event, there are certain photographers you've worked with before and you want there.

Right now he does. All I want to see him do is throw strikes. He was supposed to go in for one inning and it was so quick he had another shot. And he did a tremendous job and right now, he's going to be the talk of the next couple of days.

revealed the Norton, Ohio $1,000 winner. We crashed this car into the wall three or four years ago and we thought we were going to cut it up and throw it away, but we've been working on it and it's been better. I just wished it didn't rain so much this year.

Retail spending was much stronger than anticipated. Although some of these gains were due to post-hurricane spending, it appears that consumers are not yet ready to throw in the towel.

Right in the second quarter, they started to hit at the free throw line. We adjusted and went to our 2-3 zone, and that helped us stay in the game.

Right before the game Jay (Paterno) came over and said I was going to throw today.

Peyton would tell you that, too. Eli is a big, good-looking kid who can throw the ball well. The thing that separates Peyton is his work ethic and how he prepares himself. Eli went to Ole Miss and did pretty darn well without the best cast around him. I think he'll do just fine. He's just a very good athlete who can throw the ball extremely well.

(Phillips) is fighting for a job on this team and I'm glad I got a chance to throw to him.

People would come in with frying pans, big axes, and they'd build fires and they'd have cans of stuff and they'd throw their cans down and hike on ... and we don't see that anymore.

Pete really liked him. (Ross) is a guy who can catch, throw and handle a (pitching) staff.

Pete Dye is famous for making holes that you can throw up on yourself.

Potential is great. But when you can throw it down there on the (Daily Racing) Form and you can read it, it's impressive. He's won seven (actually six) in a row and a million dollars. That about covers everything.

Possibly -- possibly -- Duke, and maybe North Carolina State. I'm not sure that we all aren't fighting for positioning now. I said before the season started that this would be a year where you could throw predictions out the window. I'm not sure you could make calls. You've had a couple of wide margins, but most games could have gone either way. That's the way it is in the ACC.

Poor decisions and free throw shooting haunted us. I was disappointed in our ball control.

Portfolio manager Bob Smith has been in charge since 1997 and is a very smart, capable investor who won't throw caution to the wind,

Porterville kept fouling the wrong people. The ones they fouled are excellent free throw shooters.

My uncle had trouble carving the turkey. He complained about the sharpness of the knife. My grandma proceeded to rip the turkey apart with her own hands and throw a leg and breast on everyone's plate and said, 'There, that's Brooklyn style.'

My uncle had been a basketball player in his day. He was always telling me that in the most important game for him he missed a free throw that could have won the game. He told me he felt bad about it. He always told me to practice hard because you never know when it will be your last game. You never know when the game can be taken from you. When we lost to IMS, I felt like I let him down.

On her first throw, she threw over 140 feet. It was a throw that could have won the whole thing, and then I saw the red flag go up. She scratched on the third throw, and I think that kind of rattled her.

(Nick) didn't have to throw a lot of pitches, he struck out 10 and really kept the ball close to the plate all night. This was his best game all year.

Next year we don't have the Olympics, so we'll be going straight through first quarter. But it's a puzzle, and you really have to take a look at what makes sense for the show, build up your audience, keep them, but not throw in repeat episodes and then hope they're going to come back or remember that after three repeat episodes there will be a brand-new episode.

Nikki continues to throw well. She didn't allow them to bunch up any hits.

On previous teams, I'd rush with the puck. It's more confidence now, that has a lot to do with it. When you see coach and players have more confidence in you and throw you into different situations, that helps add to being a better player.

On paper we are supposed to beat them, but you can throw the paper out the window, because all that matters is what we do on Saturday night.

Only one of them is a junior. It doesn't matter who you put in the backfield. You've got to have someone hammering away at those defensive linemen. They also give us time to throw the ball.

On the last play, I honestly thought I was out. It was a good time for him (Diaz) to throw the best pitches of the inning right there. He walked Valdez on four pitches and at the best, painted the ball.

On the four-point play, I was just happy to get the ball and throw it up. And it felt pretty good.

One of the freedoms you get if you earn a lot of money from a book is to throw away what you want. And if you throw a lot away, the good stuff always comes back; nothing is lost.

I was hoping we would rush it for about 200, throw for about 250. I think we've got to get a lot better running the football than we were today.

I was happy about it, because now I could just throw everything in one big bin.

I was hanging back, but I saw when he had that pressure he tried to throw it short. I took a gamble and it worked out.

I was guarding her, and I wasn't expecting her to throw up those threes, but she did.

I was gonna throw the first pitch at a Mets game, but there was a rain delay. So I'm waiting for it to stop, and the team's manager, Willie Randolph, comes by. Now he's already intimidating to begin with. But he comes over to me and says, 'If you screw this up, they will boo you.' And I said 'Thanks.'

I was going to throw it out of the end zone if nobody got open, but Mike was there. I had some highs and lows and you're going to have that in a football game. But I've still got to get rid of the turnovers.

I was fluid today but I didn't throw enough strikes.

I was feeling loose and relaxed, took some good jumps on balls. I was able to make a catch and throw somebody out, which I was very pumped about.

I was real proud of the effort we got out of our guys today. We knew we were going to throw a different pitcher every inning and we swapped up the lineup at first, knowing we were going to try and get everybody in we could.

I was surprised. It was the first shift for us. We just tried to throw the puck on net and hopefully go for a rebound or cycle the puck. I took the shot and it just kind of went five-hole. I was surprised, but we'll take it.

I was surprised because he pump-faked more than I thought he would. When I had my hands up, he threw the ball out a lot more than I thought he would. He'd get a shot and he'd go up, and I'd put my hand up. I wouldn't foul him, and he'd throw the ball out to his teammates. I thought he was going to shoot a lot more than he did.

I was showing her older brother how to throw and Natalie wanted to learn too. She was 12.

I was telling the coach before the game let me throw deep. I had a feeling because of the way I was throwing in practice all week. I told everyone before the game, I'm feeling hot. If this was a basketball game, I was going to score 50 points.

I wouldn't say we work on ball control, ... It comes down to the game situation -- if we have a lead, what we want to do in a particular drive. Sometimes Coach Paterno will come over to me and say, 'If you get a chance to throw it deep, see if we can hit it.'

I wouldn't hesitate if someone goes down to throw him in there because I know what he's going to give me. I realize he's going to make mistakes, but if he does, they'll be at full speed. He's doing the same things we saw on film in college.

I would prefer to throw the ball and then set up the run. If you can't throw the ball, you're absolutely dead.

I would rather throw a viper down my shirtfront than hire a compensation consultant.

I wish there were some way we could check the DNA on some of these SOBs that are allowed to come to games and show bad manners and throw stuff at Duke's team -- a class coach and a class team. Why is it that we find that all over the country, not only in college, but in pros? You ought to be able to check the DNA of an idiot, and do something about it, so you'll not be able to see it again.

I would anticipate that within the next week, as an act of desperation as he fights for political relevancy, Gray will pull out a page from his old play book and go negative against Arnold. Gray Davis is going throw everything against the wall he can and see what sticks.

I work out six days a week. I do pilates, Bikram yoga and spinning. Every once in awhile, I'll throw weights in. I like to get some kind of cardio in every day, even if it's just hiking.

I work four 10-hour days. We have more fun than junior high school students on this bus, but we don't throw food on the bus.

I was pretty animated; tonight's game was probably the most energetic and emotional that I've had in a long time. It was just coming back here; Seattle, where the opportunity was given to me to throw every five days regardless of how I pitched. I knew I would get the opportunity to develop here. This is where it all kind of started.
