If There Was Any Magic Formula, It

The Only Time I Really Try For A Strikeout Is When I'm In A Jam. If The Bases Are Loaded With None Out, For Example, Then I'll Go For A Strikeout. But Most Of The Time I Try To Throw To Spots. I Try To Get Them To Pop Up Or Ground Out. On A Strikeout I Might Have To Throw Five Or Six Pitches, Sometimes More If There Are Foul-offs. That Tires Me. So I Just Try To Get Outs. That's What Counts - Outs. You Win With Outs, Not Strikeouts.

It's Better To Throw A Theoretically Poorer Pitch Whole-heartedly, Than To Throw The So-called Right Pitch With Feeling Of Doubt-doubt That's It's Right, Or Doubt That You Can Make It Behave Well At That Moment. You've Got To Feel Sure You're Doing The Right Thing-sure That You Want To Throw The Pitch You're Going To Throw.

The Game Has A Cleanness. If You Do A Good Job, The Numbers Say So. You Don't Have To Ask Anyone Or Play Politics. You Don't Have To Wait For The Reviews.

I Don't Think I've Ever Seen Anybody With Quicker Hands Than Soriano.

In The End It All Comes Down To Talent. You Can Talk All You Want About Intangibles, I Just Don't Know What That Means. Talent Makes Winners, Not Intangibles. Can Nice Guys Win? Sure, Nice Guys Can Win - If They're Nice Guys With A Lot Of Talent. Nice Guys With A Little Talent Finish Fourth, And Nice Guys With No Talent Finish Last.
