Throwing Quotations | Page 2

We're frustrated right now, because we've been close, ... The ball games we've lost, we were a few plays away from winning those. But by no means are we throwing in the towel.

We're hoping he's healthy. That's No.1, first and foremost. All the reports that we've had is that he's been on a regular routine throwing ? not throwing off the mound, but everything seems to be good. He's a big horse for us. When he was a free agent last year he was at the top of my list. We were fortunate enough to be able to sign him. He just never was right. Mel can tell you, from spring training on he just didn't feel right. It was just something that nagged him all year. Finally we shut him down. Hopefully that stuff is behind him.

We're hoping by that next official mini-camp in early June that you're going to see him spinning the ball around and throwing it. Now to what degree and how hard and how deep, I can't tell you. I don't know that yet.

We're a young team. We've had a lot of trouble catching and throwing the ball. When our defense played well, we didn't throw strikes.

To play defense behind him is great, because he's always throwing strikes, and he keeps you in the game. He doesn't throw 94-95 (mph), but his fastball's good enough, and he puts it in the right time and the right place. That's what winning pitchers do.

Yes, for most people the spring stats can fool you. But watching the way he's throwing the ball, he's backed off and pitched, not thrown. He's more letting the pitches work for him and letting the ball move for him and locating. He's not trying to overthrow or overpower hitters, but just make his pitches and have them put the ball in play.

We're real happy for her, especially for the shot put. (Gilson) threw real far in the first meet and is back up where she needs to be. The weight throw has some improving to do; she kind of declined on it and is real frustrated. She has been watching film on her technique and checking to see if there is anything visible to see if she has some kind of problem throwing it.

We like a lot of things about Jacque. He's a very versatile guy. We were very intent on trying to get a left-handed hitter. He's very athletic, has some pop in his bat, an outstanding throwing arm. He's a versatile player and had a lot of upside in him.

We know what Eric should be able to do. Anthony has really improved. He was throwing his breaking ball over for strikes. They both looked good.

We know we're going to have to throw the ball, ... We're not going to be able to just line up and run the football. We've worked on our throwing game more than we've worked on our running game because we've got to get it down pat. If we can throw the ball, we're going to be a much better team.

Ultimately if you're a journalist, one day you're writing about figure skating, one day a political debate. I loved that about reporting. I like throwing my energies into various corners of the world.

Woody wasn't throwing at him. But, quite frankly, Doug did what he had to do to keep things from escalating.

Woodland has a lot of weapons. There is not a better team in the league when it comes to throwing the football. But they are also capable of pounding the ball at you.

Writing books and being paid for it - it's not like winning the Lottery. You can't suddenly go, 'Yippee!' and start throwing tenners in the air. I've done pretty well out of it, but certainly not enough to say, 'Right, that's me set up for life.'

Nothing gets you to mend your heart quicker than throwing yourself into work.

I've had pretty good success with Stan (Musial) by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third.

When your timing is off and you're pushing the ball instead of throwing the ball, there will be a decrease in velocity. If the timing is off or the arm slot is off, you won't see the same thing.

We were always working overtime, throwing things together. Every first year is always hectic enough, because you have producers and network executives fighting it out over what they think you should do. With all the belief that science fiction was just not meant for TV, they didn't understand what they had until it was too late-and by then they had a hit show, the highest rated sci-fi show of all time on network television!

I don't think the discus will ever attract any interest until they let us start throwing them at one another.

Stop throwing us all together like some sort of Puerto Ricaminican Tex-Mex buffet.

We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.

We actually brought a plastic javelin into the gym this week. They were practicing all week. They were throwing it into the rafters. It was awesome.

We accomplished a lot. That's the luxury of throwing on the side. You can get things done.

My policy is no stone throwing regardless of housing situation.

What we need here is if schools are going to stay (with it), young kids need to start now. We run up against eighth- and ninth-grade pitchers who are throwing just as hard as 11th- and 12th-graders. None of these girls have played before.

We ran into a into a guy that was throwing the ball very well ... you've got to tip your cap to that (pitching) staff today, they did an outstanding job of keeping our hitters down.

We didn't tell the audience that this was a setup, that we were shooting a video, ... It was weird; there was this huge, like, 'Ahhh.' I heard this groan and moan, and then everybody started going 'Booooo' and yelling 'Bull-shit!' and throwing stuff up on the stage. Most people thought that she had been arrested. The song is about trying to find your own freedom as an individual and to avoid the repression that's coming down on individual rights from the right-wing, so-called Moral Majority.

When I'm throwing hard and have all my stuff, you can afford to miss a little bit more. But I needed to go after them. I figured we were going to hit the ball.

When I'm throwing a good sinker, I get a lot of quick outs. If I get beat, I want to get beat on my best pitches and that's what happened. I can handle that.

When I finally realized how it has affected my life, I felt like smashing it, throwing it out the window. Now my compulsion is to try and understand what I've done to myself and my family.

When I did get the call to start, it took about three games for me to build my innings up. Now, I can prepare myself to start, condition myself properly, space my throwing out, build up from the beginning this year and be ready to start. I think it's going to help me in the long run.

A certain feeling comes from throwing your good life away, and it is one part rapture.

We're having a science fiction week in investment banking land. They're throwing so much out it's confusing the market.

We're harder to defend this year because we're throwing the ball with more success, we have some good receivers and the line is protecting well.

We're happy with where we are, especially where we're coming from. The only negative is we're throwing only about five deep, and someone else among the pitchers has to step up.

This project is in a downward spiral, even members of the nuclear industry are looking for other ways to store the waste,and throwing more money at this problem-ridden albatross will not fill gaps in the science because the science is not there.

There are vehicles tossed hither and yon just like throwing pick-up sticks,

The only plan is to keep his arm in shape, because he's gone a long way to get it to where it is and we don't want to go backwards. In the middle of a rehab, it's important to keep throwing and keep the looseness in there.

We've relied on Patrick a lot this year, but I feel confident in Charlie, Alex and the others. We've got the arms there. If we can get them to throw strikes that's my main concern. Charlie is our most consistent throwing strikes after Patrick. That's what I'm going to be looking for in the first game of the tournament.

He [Viggo Mortensen] was standing behind the camera throwing the apples … And I’ve never seen him so happy.

Whenever you've got your pitcher out there throwing strikes, you've got to come up with some big plays sometimes to help the pitchers out.

When I graduated from college I was paying $900 a month in rent, and finally decided that I was tired of throwing that away,

When I look at Washington today, we need to bring us together. We need to solve problems, we need to rebuild our military so we can stand up to radical Islam, we need to get our economy growing much faster by throwing out the corrupt tax code and lowering the rates.

When I look at that, I don't see that. Did he miss some throws that he should have made? Sure, and I'm sure he will tell you that as well. I don't see where that injury is doing something specifically to his throwing mechanics. I wish I could tell you I saw that.

We won't have battery police. We're not going door to door to determine if Joe Smith is throwing away two batteries.

I'm always throwing out ideas, so it's not creativity, it's just volume.

The prime minister continues to demonize us. We will continue to pray and to resist, but we will do all of these things without violence. The real violence is destroying homes and throwing out the residents.

When we started out doing this, basically what we were doing was throwing money at the problem. In most cases, people had absolutely no idea how to spend the money.

The pitching was solid. Jake did a good job of getting out of that inning. If we're going to do anything state-wise, we've got to have Jake throwing well.

Mandy has done a good job of being near the strike zone. She was throwing good enough pitches to get them to chase. Now, the detriment to us is when we have good opportunities to get outs, we hang a ball and they get a get a base hit and score two. That happened a couple of times tonight.

Let me tell you, that guy is really, really good. It's hard to judge how he'll do with blocked shots because he didn't have any against New Mexico in the last game, but he had 19 against us in two games. You wonder if he'll be healthy. ...You try to prepare the players for how he might help out, but at the same time you don't want to get them so nervous that they're just throwing the ball up.

Luke looked like his old self today. He was consistently ahead in the count against most hitters and was throwing all of his pitches for strikes.

Libby likes to run the veer option game by pounding it with their fullback. Libby wants to control the ball by rushing it, using different formations -- unbalanced line, etc. -- to try and force you to adjust. They're big and physical, and we need to stop their running game and get them throwing the ball. If we do that, we'll be doing the right things defensively.

Let's see how he feels tomorrow. That's about kind of what I expected based on (the fact) he's been throwing off and on every other day basically for the last week.

Loud, excessive grunting and throwing your weights around on the floor usually go together, so we try to avoid it.

(Leggett) was throwing three pitches for strikes, and getting his changeup and curveball over early in the year is difficult. We have to make adjustments and see it a lot of times.

League's going to be interesting. I think people may be throwing our name out there to win it. But Riverside Christian, Cal Lutheran -- it's going to be competitive.

So it's mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something you're saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself.

She was screaming a lot, ... She was down on the (cement) and she was throwing up blood. Her sister was calling for help.

She was really aggressive throwing strikes. That is something to build on.

She's very brave the way she tackles this in the book. She's been given a lot of flak from the right, saying, 'Who'd want you?' But she does deal well with the imperfect fit between men and women. If she was a man, she'd have a ton of people throwing themselves at her.

She's throwing well. She's just playing with tremendous confidence. The team has made some great plays behind her. If we get her a couple of runs for a lead, as a coach, it's a great feeling.

She's a very good pitcher. We tried to go with the pitch wherever she was throwing it. Coach wanted us to get on top of the ball and drive it.

She?s an excellent, excellent fielder, has a strong throwing arm and is a solid hitter.

She's been dedicated to her mechanics. She's been throwing the ball well, and she's been a big bonus for us.

She's been a solid hitter the past couple of years and does a good job throwing runners out. She's a tough, steady player and a great kid.

She's playing incredible. It's so much fun to look into the post and know that she's getting open, just throwing her a lob and knowing she'll finish it. She's really stepped up her game this year, and it's really fun to play with her. It's fun to play with a post player that can bring so much to the floor.

She seems to be completely healed up. She's throwing the ball as hard as I've ever seen her throw. We're very excited to get Brooke back on the field and playing with us at 100 percent.

She's done a really good job of handling everything. Scott and I worked this fall and talked about her possibly throwing the javelin. I knew she was good in high school, but I didn't know she was that good.

She's always around the plate and she does a good job of throwing strikes. When they're not swinging, she's getting strikes.

Oh yeah. I knew. I got a little careless in the sixth with the catcher there, throwing him a bunch of breaking balls in a row. That's why it's so hard to do it. I wasn't concerned about it. I wanted to win the game, and we did.

So many things can hinder one. Think you are up in a hot air balloon with sandbags. As you get older, keep throwing those sandbags overboard. The more sandbags you throw, the higher you soar, the higher the balloon goes.

Should I be considered? I don't know. A lot of guys should be considered; that is just the way it is. I think a lot of people, off me throwing three touchdowns and doing all the things receiving, people are considering me for doing all those different things.

Simply just putting money, throwing money at a solution is not the answer,

She caught Tiara a little over the summer to get ready for this year. She's been great. She has a rifle arm and she's throwing runners out.

She has learn to throw what she's good at. She's a heck of a talent, but sometimes she insists on throwing other pitches.

Shannon kept throwing that rise ball, and we kept fishing for it. We had our opportunities.

Sitting down with some of the coaches now, hearing the different things they've been saying about my throwing motion, is that there's nothing really wrong with it. The media, that's who keeps talking about the throwing motion. There's nothing wrong with the throwing motion.

She pitched excellent today. She had good control on the outside corner and changed speeds a little bit. She was pretty much throwing the ball by them. We're going to win some games if she pitches that well.

She pitched a heck of a game. Kristen is throwing very well right now.

She (Ronk) is doing the job. She's throwing hard.

She really didn't like the shot put too much, but we have her throwing both (shot put and discus) and she finally got the shot put together.

She kept throwing them off balance today. Our defense did not have to make a lot of plays today, which is a big deal in a game like this.

She just kept throwing strikes. She got down on the count some, but she just kept on trucking. She didn't let it stop her or get down on herself or anything like that. She kept her game face on.

She is throwing strikes and as long as she throws strikes and lets the defense play behind her we will be OK.

Most people aren't ready to hit at this point. They're throwing 97, 98. The pitchers, they've got the advantage.

Mike wants to be that much more lethal by making himself a great throwing quarterback,

Mike's going to be good for a while, so I'm pretty happy with the way he played and I'm confident in throwing him the ball.

Mike was breaking (Willis) down with left hooks to the body. Mike was throwing some really sweet combinations.

Maybe what it all says is that with colleges throwing the ball so much, the running back position has become less important. There's some truth to that, and maybe we're seeing the effects of it in the draft.

My initial dream was to be a baseball player, ... I remember throwing a baseball at 2-years-old in the house. My dreams of playing tennis just kept changing. It's been a remarkable road.

My first start, everyone was concerned. I was throwing 85 (mph). I wasn't worried about it. I was trying to throw a good game against these guys. They are pretty hot right now, and I shut them down so that feels good.

One pitch was low, and it would have been a 3-1 count. Instead, it was a strike. This guy is throwing 98 mph and changing speeds on him. And he battled and smoked that ball off the right-field wall.

One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code.

Obviously, we feel very good. The guys showed guts today. It was a tough game to play. We've been playing well all week, everybody's been throwing the rock good. Today, we came out and just did it again.

Obviously you'd like to have everybody throwing up zeroes all the time. But that can't happen. Pitchers can go into slumps just like hitters. For whatever reason, sometimes they do it collectively.

Nature is sending us messages. The idea of repeatedly throwing federal dollars at rebuilding the infrastructure in some of these places is crazy. There are certain areas where we simply should retreat.

One time, when I was about eight, these guys started throwing water balloons at me. That really did ruin my summer.

My back was a little stiff coming in, but I only threw one bad pitch - on the triple. It was belly-button high. I loosened up by the end of the inning and had my slider and fastball working. I was basically just throwing to the glove at that point.

(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.
