Hits Quotations | Page 5

Landon Clegg misses a big three and then two seconds later hits the big one. That's heart right there.

(Lang) had them at bay. Then they had two hits and scored them.

Jamie is really pounding the ball. She's been getting big hits for us all season.

Jeffery hits the nail on the head when he says you have to have fun. That's the biggest thing. It is a profession, and you have to put in a lot of time and effort. But, when you have fun, that's what makes it worthwhile.

Jeff is big and slow. He hits real good and drives the ball. He's a bit more laid-back than I am.

Our hitters started off a little slow, we hadn't seen anything in a while, but our hitters came up with some big hits when they needed to.

Our guy usually hits his spots but he threw three pitches that were belt high and right down the middle. We just made some mistakes and they made us pay for them.

Our kids battled. It was good to see a couple of guys come through with some hits that haven't (before). Maybe it will help us down the road. That's been the story of our season, we give up too many unearned runs. If we play defense, routine stuff behind our pitchers, then we probably win a few more ball games. You can't win in our region when you give teams extra outs.

Our guys battle good along the board. They take and make hits to make plays.

People are always talking about momentum, but I don't believe in momentum. Momentum changes with one hanging curveball. That's the thing about baseball. It's the one sport where you really, really just never know. The guy you least expect gets into the postseason, hits .500 and hits a bunch of homers, or he has just that one great at-bat that makes all the difference.

Julie mixes her pitches well and hits her locations. She's pretty confident with that.

Justin Gray is just a phenomenal player. We've watched so much film on him, but it's nothing like watching him in person. He hits unbelievable shots. He wouldn't go away tonight, and kept his team in it until the end.

July was a special month -- those don't come along all the time. You can't expect 40 hits a month the whole season, as much as you'd like to see it happen.

Junior sets a good example with the way he works in BP. He hits the ball all over. He could pull everything and hit long home runs. But he works on driving the ball to left and center. Adam (Dunn) and (Austin) Kearns have picked up on that.

Just about everybody had multiple hits and multiple scores. We just ran into a much weaker team.

John, you never know what he's going to do. If John's on that day, I probably can't beat him because he hits it so much farther than me. He could really take it deep if he has one of those days.

I might treat him a little differently as a freshman. I put my arms around him and looked in his eyes and said you have to have a clock in your head and know when it hits four (seconds) to fair catch.' We do those drills where we count to four in practice.

I thought, I'm going to gamble here. We haven't been putting too many hits back-to-back-to-back all year and that's what I was thinking there.

I thought in the second inning we had some really big hits and that kind of set the tone for the game. It was great to see some guys come through with some clutch hitting. I think we showed that we're capable of being a good offensive team when everybody's clicking and swinging the bats the way that they can.

I thought Lee Hall hit the ball well. But outside of that, we were just here and there. We couldn't get good hits when we needed them.

I thought he pitched OK against them last time. He gave up a couple big hits late down there, but I thought he pitched well. We got a good effort from him tonight.

I was kind of disappointed in our approach in that second game, but I'm also pleased with how we battled back. We had a slow start and that was the frustrating part. We didn't get the hits when we needed to.

I was just happy for Kevin, man. He went out and got three hits today. That's pretty good for his debut.

I think 'Teenage Wasteland' was one of those cult hits like 'My So-Called Life', something that came along and got a lot of viewers and then somehow fell into a bad timeslot that nobody ever watched, and then the network pulled the plug prematurely.

Joe and Chris' score was nothing to scoff at either. Joe hits it out there long and Chris has an amazing short game. They really played well. The course was playing long today. Nobody was getting any roll.

It is great to see Laura Moore back on the mound. If she can continue what she did in Texas- no walks, spread hits out and get ahead in the count- she should do very well in our conference games.

I think the defense is playing hard. But still, our margin for error is not that great. There are still defensive breakdowns. In the second half, we don't guard a couple of screens, leave a guy and he hits a 3 at a critical time.

I think winning that ballgame with only five hits gave the guys confidence to go out and swing the bats.

Law of Probability Dispersal : Whatever it is that hits the fan will not be evenly distributed

It is a strange set of timing and circumstances. But I am told there are occasions when a dog hits on a positive and there is nothing to be concerned about.

I think they are just wondering what we have to do to win these short run games. The difference, right now, is we're not getting hits with runners at second and third.

I think there's more than enough room for two major hits in a season, and because of the length of the holidays, both films are going to be here for a long, long time.

I think there were mistakes from both teams when they got into scoring positions but there were also a lot of big hits out there and that probably contributed.

I think the schedule has toughened us and I've seen team go both ways on that. You can take hits and after a while your confidence erodes and you're not as good, but if you have the resolve to back it up you will really benefit from the level of competition you're seeing, and I think that's what we've done.

Rocky (Wilson) hits the ball well. That's why I've got to find a way to get him in there. He might not hit it to the fence every time, but he puts it in play and that's the name of the game.

Right when we got the third out, that's when I felt tired. That's when it hits you.

Robert has a great chance to become one of the best hitters Freed-Hardeman has ever produced. When he came to us he was more of a slap hitter, but now he's fine-tuned his swing and really hits the ball hard into the gaps.

Rita was Bush putting on a show. Bush and his people took a lot of heavy hits in their response to Katrina. They wanted to be sure that this time around they projected an image of effectiveness.

Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.

Our pitchers threw strikes and we were able to bunch a couple of hits together in a big situation.

Our pitching wasn't up to par nor our defense. We had four of our five hits in the seventh when we finally woke up. It was a little too late.

Paramount Pictures continued its remarkable run of box office hits in the second quarter with

Oxford's newly designed and proprietary Video On Demand system allows smaller hotel properties to offer first run Hollywood hits with a much lower cost system than previously available in the industry making this underserved market accessible with profitability to our clients, as well as Oxford Media.

Overall, our pitching is doing well and our defense is doing well. Our hitting will come along. It's early in the season. We just need a few more timely hits and we'll be fine.

Our songs did not transcend being R&B hits. They were R&B hits that white kids were attracted to. And if people bought it, it became rock & roll. That's marketing. Why couldn't it still be R&B? The bass pattern didn't change. The song didn't change. It was still 'Yakety Yak' and 'Searchin'.'

Our staff had an unbelievable effort. We searched under every rock out there and found some real good players late. We went against some really good schools and we didn't shy away. We competed and had some great battles. We took some hits and we won some. The players coming in really feel like they're joining a program that has a chance to go to a BCS bowl and win a national championship.

Our strength is having high-quality hits that it would take another (new) network years to develop.

Other than the win at Southern Mississippi, I think this is the best that we have played all year. We got some timely hits and managed to get on base, either with good at bats or getting hit by pitches. Then we ran the bases well and produced with runners in scoring positions.

Our bats stayed alive today and we got the little hits when we needed them.

Our top four, five guys have a lot of experience in the conference already. We're looking for them to come up with big hits and pick each other up if the guy ahead of them doesn't drive in the runs, hopefully the next guy can do it.

Our game plan was working to a tee; you let Paris score as many points as she wants and you don't let them get off any 3-point shots and then Higgins hits a deep one. They're No. 8 in the country for a reason, and teams like that hit shots like that.

Our fish hits the table within two minutes of being cooked, the chips within one minute.

Our focus is not doing a string of one-off hits like the TV model.

I think he's the guy that can bring some clutch hits for us. I'm going to do the right thing for the team.

I think he's the ultimate team guy. He sacrifices everything ... does whatever it takes to score a goal, keep the puck out of the net, motivate the team. His skill is underrated. He just works so hard. I think his skill is underrated because of his shot-blocking and the big hits that he makes. He's always willing to do all the dirty work.

I think he's OK. He was able to throw the ball. I'm sure he's a bit sore. He took a lot of hits (Saturday). We think he'll be ready to go for this game.

I think I looked up once and saw five hits (on the scoreboard) and four were home runs. The two, Ramsey and Burford, both had two strikes and I thought they really had a good approach. They stayed within themselves and they got a pitch they could hit and took advantage of it.

I think once I figured out where my groove was or my thing that everybody started honing in on what they could pitch me. I demoed a lot of great songs that I didn't cut, and some turned into big hits like 'Roundabout Way,' and 'Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo,' but they just didn't work for me.

I was very impressed with our offensive at-bats in both games. I think we had quality at-bats, hard outs and the base hits were hard. Once again, we played very good defense.

I tell the girls every year if you hit, we'll win games. As a team right now, we're not hitting. That was obvious with only two hits three times through the lineup.

It doesn't matter if we're in the playoffs or not, we're trying to get to .500. We've got something to play for. Guys are still trying to get hits and get wins.

It doesn't matter if you get 3,000 hits in 18 years or you get 3,000 hits in 22 years. You still have to reach that milestone. You still have to hit 500 home runs, and it's like a pitcher doing it. If you get 300 wins in 19 years and a guy gets 300 wins after 24 years, he's still doing something right.

I wish I had more hits and runs and more wins for this team. It comes in time. I understand it's a game and some are going to be better than others. Hopefully for this team there's a lot of better days to come.

It exploded. Since last summer, we've had 50 million hits. We generally get between 500,000 and 800,000 hits a day.

I think she even scared herself today by hitting the ball so well. Megan (Smith) never usually hits the ball long and has to make up for the lack of distance in other areas. Right now, though, she's hitting the ball well.

I think our offense is even better than last year. Milton and Frank, I mean, look at the hits they had tonight. It's nice to see them in the lineup.

I think our team took a huge step forward. The whole team played with confidence, but we just came up one clutch hits short.

I think his workout will be a side show. It's not going to show you anything. The injury is what it is. He's not going to get back significantly sooner or later than anybody else with that injury. We really won't know anything until he hits the field again and we see what he can do. But someone will take him pretty high and take the chance.

I think he's faster than he's quick. He can chase you down. And he's naturally very strong. You may not think it looking at him, but he is. When he hits you, you're going to feel it.

I think he is one of the best up-and-coming players I have seen. It won't be long before he is sat here (in the winner's circle). He hits the ball like a top-ten player in the world and he is a very good putter. And mental wise I can't say enough. To make an eight and then throw a few birdies back at me, I don't know if I could do that.

It felt good. (I was thinking) that I've got to get out ahead and get on top of him before he comes out and hits me harder.

It felt more like a soccer match out there. She is not very big built and when she hits that forehand, you think 'Whoa! Where did that come from?' But she needs to be more consistent.

It feels good when I'm throwing. It's just taking some hits sometimes right on it. I just have to do some exercises all summer and things like that. Once I strengthen it up, it'll be good.

Just losing a case hits hard. Merck is like our big brother. I can call him a jerk, but you can't. This is binding people together, not pulling them apart.

Katie pitched one of her best games of the year that game, but we couldn't get any breaks. They got hits when they needed them and we didn't.

Kenneth pitched a whale of a game. Brandon got a couple of cheap hits off him. He did a good job.

Kenny is one of the toughest guys I have ever met, people just cant see how he can go in with these bigger guys like he does. Its the shock he gives that bigger guy when he hits them that makes them know they are in for a fight.

I think this year our offense is even better with Milton and Frank. I mean, look at the hits those guys got tonight. They already have a few big hits for us. That's exciting to see them in the lineup.

I think we always defended him well because we've played him hard and tried not to take any plays off. The shot he hits at the end of the half (against Cincinnati) is a hustle play. You can't let that happen. You can't give him those kinds of baskets. He's going to get baskets enough times where you can't give him easy stuff.

I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.

It got away and it got away quick. If those (homers) are base hits or even doubles it might be a different story.

It gets to be expensive. In the summer there is plenty of grass for them to graze on, but as soon as the first big freeze hits there's not much there.

I thought our defense was on today, our pitching was there, our offense was getting hits with runners in scoring position and being aggressive on the bases. Scoring in the first inning also was huge for us. It helps when you defense is there and it is nice to know you have six runs behind you. It was a nice start to the weekend.

It hits home, and it truly is unfortunate for anyone to steal from young girls. All they want to do is play softball.

It hits home in the sense that too many small towns are losing young men like this.

It hits home to everybody, especially when you know who it is. We?re at the point now, we?re just as frustrated as everyone else.

It hits you pretty fast, but in most cases it leaves you within a day or two.

I thought both of our pitchers did extremely well. And we had some key hits from some people who haven't been getting key hits.

I thought we played really well, especially in the first game. We did a good job of keeping the ball in play; most of our hits were in, making them play the ball; and we blocked well. It's only our third match, but it's definitely the best we've blocked so far.

I thought we played well defensively. We had some good quality at bats. We only had four hits to show from it, but I was very pleased.

It can enhance the excitement of the race. As it transfers to stock cars, and particularly applies to Daytona and Talladega, with the cars running closer together, a bump draft at the right time in the right place is not the worst thing in the world. But it has been turning bump drafting into slam drafting, because the hits just keep getting harder and harder and harder.

I think it hits everyone hard when you lose the captain of your team. He's worked so hard to come back, to have his season cut short, you feel for him. To have a guy like that go out of your locker room is pretty tough.

I take a lot of pride in getting big hits and driving in big runs.

I thought we were rolling along really good, but we just couldn't close the door in the seventh. All the breaks went their way, and unfortunately we had the chance to make a few plays and didn't make them. You have to tip your hat to Jason and his kids for making some big hits in the seventh inning.

I think we're getting a lot of hits from it, because we'll have people who read it or saw it and they're wondering about how to handle an insurance agent or adjustor or how did I get through the night. This is very much a good complement to our business.

I think we got a little frustrated and didn't relax and just hit. We just didn't get the key hits when we needed them.

I thought some of their hits just made it through the infield.

I thought they were ready to play, but after he smashed that pitch, it just picked them up. Hitting is contagious. The whole year, we score on some hits and the others catch on. I hope it stays like that.

I thought the girls played well. We may have lost but we're pretty positive about how we played. We had five hits against them, which is pretty awesome.

I thought we hit a lot better. We had nine hits and hit a couple of other balls hard. Hopefully, the bats are coming around to support Eden's pitching.
