Jeromy Palki Quotations

When you're around guys like that, you learn so much from the stories they tell and the way they handle hitters.

When he (Cal Ripken) talked, I shut up and listened.

Throw strikes down in the strike zone. A fastball up in the zone looks like a beach ball. The other thing I stress is location. If you can locate a pitch, you'll do fine.

We talked about how am I going to get across to these kids what I know in terms they'll understand. But for the most part, I'm getting on the mound or stopping them in the bullpen and showing them. For the most part it's been a lot easier to get through to these guys than I thought it would be. I'm enjoying it.

I wanted a shot at the big league level, and I wasn't getting it. Twelve years was enough. We were ready for some stability.

This does help. But I'm fine with the change.
