Throw Quotations | Page 9

He hasn't played in a week, so I don't think it would be fair to throw him in there today.

He hasn't made a quick, hard throw and we want to see that. It will happen when it happens. Obviously, we'd like to see it before opening day.

He has not been used a lot recently. He needed to throw tonight, so he was going to have to go. I actually debated bringing him in in the seventh if we had gotten in trouble. He was going to have to work hard tonight.

He has incredible acceleration, stop-and-start quickness. You do not forget that sometimes that he can stop and throw that ball. There is not a guy like him that I have seen. I used to think Steve Young revolutionized the system of football that I always study with his unique scrambling ability. I hate to tell Steve Young this, but this guy is a hell of a lot faster.

He has got such good stuff, I don't think you really want to get in a hole on him. One of the first two pitches, he's probably going to throw for a strike, so the main thing with him is to make sure you get out ahead and look to hit early.

He had his control today and was changing speed. He didn't throw a lot of balls in the same location and used various speeds.

He had good stuff. It was a matter of just honing it in to where he wanted to throw it.

He has done a good job for us. He does a good job with the ball and he is an outstanding free throw shooter he is probably the best on the team. He doesn't shoot the ball that much, but he has one of the best field goal percentages on the team.

He has a lot of talent, and he has a lot of growing to do. He has some real potential. He has to continue to grow and learn in our system. He has a heck of an arm, but he has to learn to make good decisions ? throw to the open guys and not turn the ball over. He's got a bright future ahead of him.

He has all the tools you look for in a player. He can run, hit, can throw pretty good, but offensively he's still making an adjustment. He's seeing things he's never seen before and I think the speed of the college game is what's holding him back. But he's a hard worker so those are things he'll pick up quickly.

He has all the tools and can throw with zip or touch. He makes great decisions.

He has all the skills but I've been trying to get him to get better at the little things. He's like a big sponge. You have to slap him around and throw him back in the water every now and then but he'll be right back to soak up some more.

He did a real good job. We don't ask our pitchers to go in and strike everyone out. We want them to throw strikes and keep the ball down, and he threw strikes.

He has very good stuff. He just needs to throw more strikes. That's the problem.

He has to have some peace of mind this year that he throw a couple interceptions, have a bad play or two, and still know he'll be in the game. He won't have to deal with all the political pressures he dealt with the last few years in Buffalo. We had a little civil war going on up there.

He has to feel real strong physically and throw a little bit. You don't want to play around with a hamstring.

He is a strike-thrower. In (the CPL), if you throw enough strikes and let the wooden bat take care of itself, you will be OK. He keeps the ball down and is a very good fielder.

He holds the offense together. He can do a lot of things. They throw in a lot of kids, but he's the one consistent. He makes plays and makes things happen.

He hit a slider where we like for Brad to throw it, and he got it up the middle. All along in this series, we talked about they were doing a nice job of hitting, and that was a classic case of it.

He is just out there throwing. He's just not pitching. He thinks throwing harder is better. It's not. He has to get back to pitching and locating his pitches. You just can't just stand out there throw fastballs by people.

He has some pretty good linemen and some pretty good receivers to throw to. We've been real pleased. He's so efficient, but that's what you expect when you have a kid who could be a Division-I quarterback.

He has really found a way to throw breaking balls in the strike zone. Guys start sitting on the breaking ball, then he blows a 95-mile-per-hour fastball by them.

He has the ability right now to catch and throw in the big leagues. When his bat comes, he'll come quickly.

He has that ability to raise a crowd off its feet. He's done a good job for them bringing that alone. ... You always have to be a little more concerned about a lob they might throw into the rafters that he can go get. That makes it more difficult.

He is a good player, but the trick is don't put yourself in a situation where they know you are going to throw the ball. You keep them on their heels, keep running the ball at them, and make them think about it.

He is a good catch and throw guy who will get stronger and battle for playing time as a freshman.

He is a game changer. He can run the ball and throw the ball. A lot of what they do offensively is going to go through him.

He is a difficult assignment especially because of the way they can throw and run the ball. You don't stop those kinds of guys, you just hope to control them enough to give you a chance to win.

He had a live arm, but he couldn't find the strike zone. You expect him to be a little sharper, but he'll throw better the next time out.

He had a good throw, and we're leaning towards him, but we'll wait and see how he feels tomorrow during the off-day. If he comes in feeling great, he starts. If not, we'll go the other way. But he had a good throw and we expect him to pitch.

He had a good set of eyes to watch guys in the bullpen. His biggest strength was always his consistency. He could throw a ball for a strike pretty much anytime he wanted to.

He had a good arm, but in their offense, they just didn't throw the ball that much, ... Everything he did was a great surprise to us, I'll put it that way. His first year he proved himself and he got better and better every year.

He doesn't even look like he's missed a beat. He flew through that game. He was getting a lot of quick outs for us. It's good to see him throw well.

He doesn't do stupid things with the ball. Mike's system is pretty sound. They'll throw the ball fairly quick. They don't drop back with a lot of looks. He'll have a plan that will be very basic and his priority will be the quarterback. I think he'll handle the 3-4 pretty well. I really do.

He got away with a couple of curveballs. He just spun it up there, didn't try to bury them. Hopefully, Felix realizes if he's going to throw that pitch, he has to throw it and not just spin it up there.

He gives you the impression that he learned how to pitch, not just throw the ball, but do what he wanted to do with it, at about the age of 10. He has a real understanding of what he's trying to do. He comes in every day with a plan.

He doesn't throw the hardest ball, but he doesn't have to. He's pretty receiver-friendly. A little zip is good, so that it really sticks. Reggie can handle those balls better. He has ridiculous hands.

He doesn't throw it a whole lot in games, but at least he's trying something he can work on going into next year.

He doesn't throw as hard as Matt, but he has very good control. I'm looking for a big year out of him.

He doesn't throw anything twice in the same spot. It's like a guessing game, and we were guessing wrong today.

He gives me the signal from the dugout through the catcher. There's times when you throw over there on your own and times, ... when you don't have a choice.

He doesn't do a lot of looking off. Once he looks at a certain direction, you can pretty much guess he's going to throw that way. He looked to the left and didn't see nothing. Once he did that, I knew he was in scrambling mode.

He does a great job with them. I know that they?re going to be tough defensively. They?re going to run different defensive looks. They?re going to throw some man and some zone at you. We just got to be prepared to go over there and face different defenses. I know offensively they?re going to be fundamentally sound and shoot the ball well." ()

He looks, acts and is built like a catcher. Is he going to be a pitcher that hits 90 mph? No. How about the outfield? He's got average high school speed with a decent bat. But can he throw a 2.0 to second, pop-to-pop? Yes. He's got a Division I arm behind the plate.

He looked pretty good early. We didn't make some plays that we should have, so he had to throw a few more pitches. They're a good hitting team, as well. First time out, I was pleased. He'll get better.

He made some big saves. They were shooting everything tonight, putting a lot of pucks on net. We don't want to have to give him that much work, but I don't think we're ever worried. No matter what teams throw at him, he seems to respond well. We'll try to help him a little bit more.

He looked good, but we're not breaking the gun out on him yet. We're going to have him start again on Monday in a 'B' game. He'll throw 60 pitches.

He located his fastball very well. When throw (the fastball) consistently, chances are you're going to go a long way in the game.

He'll throw holy water out onto the vineyard.

He'll throw his horns around a little bit, run away when we're trying to put the halter around him, pull a hunger strike. He acts like a three year old and that's what he is.

He'll probably throw it at me first, ... But I don't have a problem with that. I kind of like it.

He'll probably throw a minimum of two innings (at the all-star game).

He may have played his best game of the season tonight. His ability to distribute and throw the ball 60 yards downfield, and boot it 70 yards downfield allows Leach and Smith to become very dangerous offensively.

Henrik doesn't seem to be in awe of any opponent. If I know Hitch, they'll be ready. It's a good test for us. I hope they throw the kitchen sink at us and that we're able to respond to it.

He'll have to have a great summer working out with the quarterbacks. They can't throw enough in the summer. It's not important to learn plays. It's important to learn how to run the routes.

He needs to trust that his footwork will take him to the completions. If you don't take the proper footwork, it's hard to throw accurately and on time.

He needs to throw the mayor off balance so people will look unfavorably at the mayor. He's got to get under the mayor's skin.

He made a great catch. That was a huge play. Changed the field position, put us in position to run the clock out. ... He did what he was supposed to do. Tom read it, laid it out there, and Bethel ran it down. I mean, we always tell Tom just throw it out there as far as you can and make him run for it. He can't overthrow him -- he almost did -- but Bethel ran it down.

He moves the ball around the plate a lot and he's very deceptive. He's got four pitches he can throw any place in the count.

He came such a long way. When we were younger, he would come out here and throw the ball a ton. Throw real hard. But over the years he has developed a little touch. He's making real nice touch passes." ()

He came out of the race fine. I'm going to throw the race out and go by his last two races at Tampa. He showed us he deserves a chance to be in the Derby.

We can hit and throw. Our pitchers throw live batting practice in a batting cage. There's not a whole lot we can do.

This was not so much about his stuff but how well he commanded the strike zone, that he had no discomfort and that he got his pitch count up. The answers were yes, yes and yes. . . . He earned an opportunity to really throw his hat in the ring (for the fifth starter spot).

Today it wasn't bad, for me to be able to come back after the other night and be able to bounce back. I'm happy with it. I don't expect to be able to know whether I can play right now. This is a little too early, I've got to get through my soreness first and then a little later on see what I can do. Right now my main focus is to get out there and throw the ball in between innings, get my legs under me, things like that.

Whatever inspires us, we throw it into the pot and make our own flavor.

What else does he have to do? Throw a no-hitter at Coors Field?

We talked about this all week and I felt like I let Duque down. I'm not trying to hurt my pitcher's feelings, but we had a plan before the game starts. Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball. Most of the balls that got hit were hit hard. We thought he was going to give me four, five, six innings to get McCarthy ready to go. Our plans didn't work.

We try to get to the line a lot, no matter what. We did a much better job than in some other games of getting position and making post feeds and getting people off their feet or out of position. That's how you get to the free throw line.

We've been using (Lucier) in relief. He has the ability to throw a number of pitches for strikes. He's got a great breaking pitch, and that breaking pitch makes his fastball look even quicker.

We just have to figure out who goes where in our bullpen. We got guys who just couldn't find the plate and we need them to go out there and throw strikes.

What I'm looking for tonight is the results here in Georgia. Can Edwards have a comeback here? Can he win the Minnesota caucuses? Can he keep it close in New York and Ohio? And barring a miracle, I mean a real miracle, John Kerry will be within a stone's throw of winning the nomination.

What I'm hearing is he's struggling with throwing, he can't throw at the moment but he is making some progress.

We've got to throw this one out of the window and forget about it.

We've got to throw the freshmen into the fire because they're going to be very good before it's over. I know they're our future on the mound and they're only going to get better by going out against good people in a regional-type atmosphere like we'll see this weekend.

We've got to play very well to beat anyone. We'll need some timely hitting, and we'll have a chance. This time of the year, no one is gonna throw a ton of pitches. All of the guys have to get it done.

We've got to mix it up and continue to do what we're doing. We would get a little running game going, but then we would have to throw it because we would get a holding call. When you play from behind, too, that's also the way it some times has to be. You throw the ball a lot more.

We've got to get to where we can throw strikes. We didn't, and when we did, they did a good job of putting the ball in play.

We take so much for granted and you can't help but to go out to these people. They need some basic supplies... water. My god if I could get some of the local orchards to throw a truck load of apples into it. Anything they could use. Just get it down there.

We take advantage of what the defense gives us. We'll throw it when we feel like we need to.

We switched to PFAA so we could have autonomy. You don't midstream decide to throw out everything you've worked for with one organization that has only had 24 months on the property.

We switched to PFAA so we could have autonomy, ... You don't midstream decide to throw out everything you've worked for with one organization that has only had 24 months on the property.

We told the kids to take some pitches. He had gone seven innings against Pine Forest. We wanted to make him throw some pitches.

We told the kids that they needed to deny Dan, but don't foul him. He's clearly their best free throw shooter and the person you don't want with the ball at the end of a game.

We throw the ball to him (Thompson) out of the backfield. He can do a lot of things for us.

We throw the ball inside every time down the court, and we shoot six foul shots. That's pretty good guarding to me.

We throw strikes and play defense, that's pretty much our philosophy.

We throw off a lot of boots and they've got to respect Alvin (McKnight). Our young quarterback (Mochoskay) threw the ball extremely well for his first full game.

We throw it up at every opportunity. I brought in shooters. If you don't shoot, you're coming out. But we can run two or three different styles. If we don't have something running, we can pull it back and we're good at a half-court set. This team is very smart.

We throw it shorter, but he can stretch the field. He's fast and explosive.

We throw him a lot of hard stuff inside. A lot of teams do that. But he doesn't miss against us. He's got our number.

We throw a party and a race breaks out. When you boil it down, that's our basic business model. It definitely works.

We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.

We thought we had a mismatch at wide receiver and their cornerbacks because we're six inches taller, ... Peter can throw it deep.

We thought we had a chance to throw it on them if we picked up the blitz.

We are experiencing these extreme levels of fear, with investors saying that they are not interested in hearing any positives, like the retail sales this morning, and that they want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The silver lining is that this kind of panic is historically the classic feeling when a bear market is at its bottom.

We can choose to throw stones,to stumble on them,to climb over them,or to build with them.

To come in and throw strikes and get people out in a pressure situation like this was just outstanding. He showed a lot of poise.

To come away with a road win in a game in which we committed 24 turnovers and shot poorly from the free throw line is huge for us.

What worries me is that we haven't really seen a sign of strength, a point where the bears are overpowered by the bulls and throw in the towel, ... That would indicate a dramatic shift -- essentially the breaking of the camel's back.

Henry will probably be our No.1 guy initially because he's most trustworthy. You know you are going to get six innings out of him every time out. And the reason is because he is such a complete pitcher. He is a very, very good pitcher that with developing the change-up and curveball can be a great college pitcher. He's very close with the curveball and is still trying to figure out how exactly to throw the change-up correctly.
