Frank Robinson Throw Quotations

He can throw it at any time and throw it for strikes. It's a very effective pitch for him. I want to learn how he throws it, keep it in mind, maybe teach it to someone else.

He's a very unique individual. Not everybody can do what he does. It comes from his background, his work ethic. He loves the work load. He wants to throw as many innings as possible. He loves doing it.

He had a live arm, but he couldn't find the strike zone. You expect him to be a little sharper, but he'll throw better the next time out.

He is just out there throwing. He's just not pitching. He thinks throwing harder is better. It's not. He has to get back to pitching and locating his pitches. You just can't just stand out there throw fastballs by people.

I wasn't going to sit there and wait until he threw the game away in the first inning. You're going to pitch for me, you've got to throw strikes.

Three-and-oh. Throw the ball down the middle of the plate. You think he was swinging there?

I just don't know why we can't throw and catch the ball. Am I embarrassed by it? Not really. I'd like for us to be sharper.

He's a professional. He takes the ball. He's not always healthy when he goes out there, but he doesn't complain about it. He just gives you the best he can possibly give you. It was the same way last year, even though we were really trying to protect him with that knee, he still wanted to throw as many innings as he possibly could.

He threw free and easy out there. He had some pop on his fastball and was able to throw his breaking ball without any complaint. So physically he was fine.
