Fastball Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Fastball:

I studied one term of law and then came to realize I had a little better fastball and curve than I did a vocabulary. Ted Lyons

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

Casey Stengel

I feel like a pioneer with the split-fingered fastball. I was the first one to really throw it pretty much 100 percent of the time. It was a pitch that I had to have. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't have been in the big leagues.

Bruce Sutter

Pitching is what you have best on the day you work, and if you can't get your fastball over the plate, then maybe you can win with your curve.

Tom Seaver

When you pinch-hit, you know you're getting their best guys, and usually it's a reliever and a guy that's got a really good slider or a really good fastball.

Billy Butler

You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.

Ted Williams

I thought I had to show all my stuff and I almost tore the boards of the grandstand with my fastball.

Cy Young

I lost the good stuff on my fastball. I had to come up with something to keep me in the league. The knuckler rescued me then.

Ted Lyons

I'm not executing my pitches. I'm not commanding my fastball, and I get behind in the count. When I try to throw strikes, I'm getting hurt. That's not the way I pitch.

Johan Santana

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.

Greg Maddux

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

Steve Carlton

I'm not going out and hitting a 95-mph fastball where I can't see the stitches. I'm not on a professional football team looking to tackle a fullback who is built like solid wood. I'm a thinking person, and I've been blessed with the ability to see some things and talk about them in a way that registers in a humorous and funny way.

Bill Cosby

I studied one term of law and then came to realize I had a little better fastball and curve than I did a vocabulary.

Ted Lyons

I've got a fastball, change-up, forkball, curve, slider, knuckle-slider, knuckle-curve, I had about seven pitches I could have used at any time.

Chili Davis

I looked for the same pitch my whole career, a breaking ball. All of the time. I never worried about the fastball. They couldn't throw it past me, none of them.

Hank Aaron

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.

Tom Seaver

Sometimes my arm wants to throw a hard fastball, but my brain doesn't want to throw it that hard.

Zack Greinke

Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster.

Joe Adcock

Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches.

Dennis Eckersley

I'm not like a 90-mph fastball kind of guy, but I can hit 70 on radar gun. I hit 70 one time on a radar guy at one of those pitch-and-throw kind of things. I have a pretty good arm for somebody who's not a baseball player.

Ben Gibbard

I know my fastball command will get even better.

Jason Hammel

I was short with my fastball and breaking ball.

Bruce Sutter
