Throwing Quotations | Page 7

I went to OZZFEST 2005 san bernardino last night and things got pretty crazy. Sharon osbourne had people throwing eggs at bruce dickenson and messing with Iron Maiden's equipment during Maiden's set. Bruce said

I was just throwing my pitches for strikes and whatever happened, happened. I got some strikeouts and I worked quick. I wanted to work fast and try to get guys out,

I was just throwing it on net. I don't really now how it went in, so I've got to watch it on video before I really comment. It was a good experience, a good first game I guess, but I have a ways to go to get up to that level.

I was just dropping and getting lucky that they were throwing over the middle. I was lucky to catch it. Linemen don't have very good hands, so it's pretty good luck to catch that ball.

I think they felt they had to do something. Their reasoning was they want to avoid guys throwing things, whether it was gum or anything. They did not say they thought he threw it toward Joey.

I think they've done an outstanding job throwing strikes.

I think there's a lot of variables and factors. Obviously, I've got to feel good, feel healthy. I have to feel as though the way I'm throwing the ball is good and effective. I have to know that if I am feeling good and throwing the ball with quality pitches, I have to feel I'm wanted or needed by the organization.

Just getting ahead early, I think, was a big key. We came out kind of flat the first two innings. We just stepped it up later in the game and got on them. We kept putting up runs. It's easy to play when you've got a pitcher up there throwing strikes.

Jeremy has a lot more confidence this year. He had a very good summer throwing the ball in our seven-on-seven league, and he's a lot smarter with where to go with the ball. He's very capable throwing the ball. I thought he hung in very well last year as a sophomore. We think he's going to have a very good year.

Jeremy did a good job getting ahead of hitters and throwing strikes. He did a nice job.

Jennifer is throwing herself on the mercy of this court and the community, and we hope the court, after hearing all the facts, will do what we ask, and that is not to put Jennifer in jail.

Japan needs to follow through with its promises. The continued embargo costs the U.S. beef industry $100 million a month. If Japan is going to keep throwing up roadblocks, we need to take retaliatory action.

Jessica and I were really aggressive. Our teammates were looking for us and throwing it over the top.

Jerry's been throwing since November. His arm is in shape. Plus, we only have four pitchers.

Kyle was actually throwing real well but it was obvious the Buchanan batters were leaning into both those pitches. That's baseball and I don't blame then for doing what it takes to get on base but the umpires need to be strong enough to see what is happening and make the right call.

Kyle's done a good job all year long. He's throwing strikes and working ahead in the count. All our pitching has done well this year. One-hitters will win a lot of games.

Last year (Carpenter) learned to pitch with no pain. Now he's coming out this year and throwing at his best. He's just stronger. You take that whole group of guys and the seasons they all had last year, and they just took all that confidence into this year. Add Mark Mulder to that mix and there are five guys who can win every night.

Last season, we hurt ourselves on the relays throwing home and balls getting through the infield. We just can't give away runs with this pitching staff. It's too good. So we needed that type of strong defense.

Larry 'let' me be a part of the offense? ... That was deep right there. When I'm on the floor, I've got to be part of the offense. There's just no other way to have it. I think Larry did a great job of throwing little wrinkles out there. He called my number here and there and got me the ball in places where I can be effective. If I'm out on the floor, I'm going to be part of the offense. Unless it's Rick Carlisle, and I'm just standing around.

I think cool moments like winning a Grammy deserve a nice little party where you really soak it in and not have to work and stuff. I do remember throwing a party on that Grammy night, but it was work.

I saw him today for the first time throwing BP. He's got great arm strength. He was a little erratic today command-wise. Obviously, he's got good stuff. I think he's going to be a great addition for them.

I saw people inside the subway throwing snowballs at each other.

I saw some (sun-tan) lotion and everything. They were throwing everything.

I see more people picking up bottles and cans off the street. People think twice about throwing them out.

I said: 'I'm throwing in my job, and I'm going to write a book.' Everyone thought: 'She's off her trolley,' and it was quite crazy, really. I'm just lucky that it came off.

I saw a guy throwing hard but without a lot of command. It was hard to watch. We got to get him tightened up. He threw a lot of pitches.

I saw a couple of players down below (in the stadium) who were talking about Oswalt during the game, and they said, 'My god, he is throwing a ball that looks like it's coming at 110 mph and rising when it gets to the plate,'

I remember when I went there (on a recruiting visit) the coach (Steve Leach) said, 'Hey, man, you want a Heisman (Trophy) candidate throwing you the ball?' That was Jason Thomas, I think, playing quarterback. I told them I didn't want to do that, and I ended up going to Iowa State.

People are making a big deal about him throwing inside. He's working hard at it and he's showing confidence.

Pedro was tough. He was throwing as well as I've seen him. He mixes it up so well, he makes it tough to get comfortable up there against him.

People aren't throwing themselves at me, but I also don't go out very much. Like, when I do go out, it's for breakfast, so it's a little hard to throw yourself at me during breakfast.

Our job is to make those guys successful. We know no glory is going to come to us. But if we can get our quarterback throwing for 300 yards and after the game he's not limping and his jersey's not dirty, and Rudi's jersey is dirty and he's running, that's a good game for us.

Overall we did a pretty decent job today. We played well defensively. Our two errors were throwing errors on relay plays. They were nothing really major. Our pitchers did a nice job. We don't have a pitching staff that will get a lot of strikeouts. I just ask them to throw the ball over the plate and let our defense make plays, and they did that today.

Our pitching has been very good so far this season. I have four good guys throwing this year, and through the first two games, they've only allowed one earned run.

Our pitchers have been throwing ground balls, but our defense has struggled a little bit.

Our pitchers have been making great pitches. If our pitchers are throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters, that's all we can ask.

Our pitchers got tentative, started throwing ball one, ball two, and when you do that you're going to be in trouble.

Our pitchers did a very nice job. I think we only had two walks, so they did a good job of throwing strikes. We didn't play defense very well. We got some nerves out. We started hitting the ball a little better towards the end. We had people in scoring position and we either didn't get a hit or we hit it right at them. When they got in that position we either made an error or they got a hit.

Our pitchers did an excellent job of throwing strikes and getting outs when we needed them.

Our team strength right now in definitely in the women's throwing events.

Our trainers thought it would be good to give him a rest throwing the ball today.

Our biggest challenge is to convince the regulators that we are not throwing the baby out with the bathwater by using a Bayesian approach. It is rigorous and we are not losing science by using it.

Other than that, he made some good throws. He missed a couple, but when you are throwing the ball more down the field vertically like we did today, those are harder to make. You're not going to make every one.

Right now, she (Chamberlain) is coming off a shoulder injury from the indoor season. So, she's throwing just long enough to win.

(Robertson) was throwing well and we couldn't pick up the ball early because of the shadows. But that's only our excuse, we didn't have any trouble seeing the ball. The second time around we were hitting the but we didn't have any luck.

Rohan has a strong throwing arm, so he was definitely able to give us the look when we faced big-armed quarterbacks who could throw the ball deep. He?s a professional. He always came in and did his job and you always want a guy like that, not someone with a bad attitude. He accepted his role knowing that he was behind Tom Brady and had to help get the defense together. He was competitive with it, and I think that helped. Those are the things that made him a good quarterback.

Reggie certainly had a fantastic game throwing and running the football and really only played 2 1/2 quarters to accomplish all of that.

Real spotty comment on my fastball today and to go out against a kid that's throwing the ball as well as Brendan threw the ball today,

Relax and be yourself and quit worrying about all the stuff around you. (Forget about) your throwing motion, who you look like or whatever.

Our point guard rolled her ankle and our post player was throwing up in the bathroom. It was a tough loss.

Our point guard and two-guard play has been average. That's not throwing anybody under the bus. We've just got to play better. When we do start playing better (at guard) I think our big guys will play better because they'll get more touches in tight at the basket.

Patrick got off to a very rough start. The first two he threw right to the guy. ... After that he sort of hung in there as best as he could, and hit a few here and there. But he played about like a rookie quarterback, I guess. I don't know where he was throwing some of those.

Patience and opportunity are really the number-one things that develop players. The guys are young and they make mistakes. You've got to believe in them and you've got to keep throwing them out there.

Payton has that unorthodox delivery that he throws with and we don't worry about match ups when he's out there. When you have a pitcher like that throwing strikes then we'll take our chances on being able to get out of it.

Our man defense was good, but we used a lot more zone than I thought we would. Both teams were throwing the ball around because of the intensity of the game.

Our middle linebacker's an All-Pro and he had (90) tackles. That shows you what kind of team we have. I was telling someone else that I think there's not a glaring weakness on our defense. Before, if a corner had 150 tackles, obviously he was picked on. We don't have that. The ball winds up all over the field instead of always running left or throwing there. That has made everyone even as far as statistics go.

Or are you against law and order, siding with those firing bullets at the police, throwing petrol bombs and blast bombs at police and attacking them?

People love throwing that out there: 'Is it going to wear on you more, wear on you less?' I don't know. Just play and whatever happens, happens, ... You know, you can't worry about that stuff. You do all your exercises and hope it holds up. I can't do any more work to make it stay healthy. If it goes, it goes.

Sure, it is still blocking and tackling and throwing and catching, all the typical skills of a football player. But it is an entirely different game, too. It is kind of like football in a concentrated form.

Stacey has started to hit the ball, which helps her defensively as well, so she's not carrying that back to the field. Karen is throwing well and is taking that senior leadership role. She tells the girls she's going to get the ground ball, so they have to back her up.

Some of our maintenance employees saw another airline throwing away a scaffolding. Our guys took it out of the trash and turned it into a picnic table and a few benches for their hangar.

That 2-iron, that's my baby, ... You've got to put it in play out here. There is no need to start throwing it off line and giving shots away.

My theory on him is that he's essentially still in Spring Training. He's behind, and he may have hit a little bit of that 'dead arm' phase. In general, he's throwing the ball better than he was when I saw him in January. It's consistent, he feels very good about it, his balance is good. It's a lot better than the films I've seen from last year.

My shoulder's just a little bit tired, ... Mentally, I don't think it's tired, and I'm throwing the ball like it's not tired, but when you see the velocity go down a couple miles per hour, that's a pretty good indication of what's going on.

My slider has been really good this spring. It's kind of good to know that it's come along. At one time at the beginning of spring, I thought about throwing that pitch away.

My purpose for doing it has nothing to do with throwing it in anybody's face,

My idea of baking is buying a ready-make cake mix and throwing in an egg.

Liz, obviously, came out and shot the ball very well. I thought Westbrook did fine. Nobody could stop Rivera. She was throwing in everything.

Looking at him, last year to this year, you can see the maturity in the throwing game and his decision-making and all of that.

Logan is throwing the ball very well. In two outings he's given up 4 or 5 hits with 17 strikeouts. When you throw a lot of strikes it's easier to play rhythm baseball. We didn't have any errors tonight and that's something very big to build on.

Mark did an awesome job, ... He puts the ball where it has to be. He's a great quarterback and he threw it perfect for me. I'm just running the routes; he's throwing it.

Matt is a playmaker. Once he stopped worrying about what was going on around him, he did a great job of throwing the ball.

Matthew threw the ball well, and Ethan is really throwing well.

Matt has to detail the little things. He has to keep on improving, and learning the offense and the new wrinkles. He has to get better at throwing accurate throws and making good decisions. He's made a lot of big strides over the last year. And we expect him to improve and have a good senior year.

Matt could've thrown nine. But after catching three games, then throwing 80 pitches, we put him in the outfield. Hopefully, there's a lot more baseball to play.

Matt broke his arm, and he was still throwing blocks.

Matsui was incredible. Trying to hit a guy throwing 95-plus in 40-degree weather, that's hard.

(Massey has) really been our leader throughout most of the season. He did a great job of getting out ahead of the batters and throwing strikes.

Like they've been all year long, they're very consistent throwing strikes. Brian threw well. We've probably misused Eddie to where we bring him in in relief. Eddie has done a great job for us. He has a good mix of speed. I was very pleased with those two guys.

I was trying to find some rhythm after my last start, throwing my last two innings with just my arm, ... This time around I was trying to get the mechanics down and get good pitches, and I wasn't able to do it.

I was used to counting to one Mississippi and then going, but they made us wait on three sets, so I jumped on two. I'm happy I did well throwing, but I didn't get the time I wanted in the run. But the throwing was the most important.

I was trying to throw in and missed and it got away from me. Then the whole inning got away from me, the whole game. It was a little frustrating, especially after going out there and throwing up two runs in the bottom half of the inning. Then I go out there and give up seven runs in the top half of the inning. That's 100 percent not doing my job.

I was throwing well before that, and hopefully, I'll continue to throw well. Just my arm was dragging a little bit and I was up in the zone more than I usually am.

I was throwing up all day Tuesday and Wednesday. I've been eating normally the past three days. Now I can finally get into my regular routine of long toss, side work and lifting.

I was throwing the ball to him. He's right there. He's getting his head turned and catching the ball really well. I'm excited for him.

I was throwing strikes and getting ahead. All of a sudden, I threw like eight (nine) balls in a row and I was like, 'What's going on?' I felt fine. I don't know what happened.

I was throwing off my back leg sometimes, or I'm trying to run while I'm throwing. Just really a lot of situations where there weren't a lot of high-percentage throws.

I was throwing my fastball on either side of the plate, and that's always the main thing you want to do from the get go is to be able to locate your fastball.

I was throwing mostly fastballs and had pretty good location. I was able to keep the ball down and work quickly.

I was throwing it in the high 80s, low 90s when I got here. Since then, I've taken a couple miles an hour off of it and I can spot it more.

I was throwing fastballs, fastballs, fastballs. It was a good feeling.

I was throwing everything, my fastball, slider, curve ball and change up. I was throwing everything for strikes. I made some good pitches, and got out of a jam.

I was throwing during practice and I'm feeling good. I feel a little sore, a little tight. But the treatment I got helped a lot.

I was throwing a lot of soft stuff. I just embarrassed myself. It wasn't a good feeling.

I was throwing a lot of pitches for strikes, I felt real comfortable the whole game.

I was the one responsible for throwing away two points. The second half substitutions (and tactics) I made were wrong. We should have played to conserve our 1-0 lead.

I tested it with throwing it pretty hard, and throwing a lot of pitches. I felt good. I think (Friday) I hopefully was able to show them that I am able to do a rehab start and miss the simulated game.

It feels great to come out with the win, especially with Chad throwing a no-hitter. Chad pretty much stepped up and did a tremendous job. He walked only one batter all day and we had no defensive errors.

It felt like you were throwing in a tunnel. Even though there were nets between the cages, every so often a ball would sail right at you from the cage next to you. You knew it wasn't going to hit you, but you still saw it out of the corner of your eye.
