Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.
I would order a dozen bats and there were times they'd come back with handles at each end.
I always said little Truman had a voice so high it could only be detected by bats.
You obviously want the results but you must do your job in every at-bat and deal with what every situation dictates.
I don't know how I'm gonna pick up a bat again. I just need to be away for a bit and play with my dogs.
When I was a kid, I dreamed of using a bat with my own name on it.
Yes, I did bite the head off of a dove. Yes, I did bite the head off of a bat. It's a stupid thing to do, but I did it.
The biggest thing that I came across, right off the bat, was that you can't shoot this like a regular movie with multiple takes. You have to, because it's such a protracted process, break it down to the frame and pretty much get one shot.
Bat, pigeon, ravens - I don't care about distinctions right now. Any fluttery, flappy thing is not cool with me.
Test cricket is bloody hard work, especially when you've got Sachin batting with what looks like a three metre wide bat.
It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight.
I hated to bat against Drysdale. After he hit you he'd come around, look at the bruise on your arm and say, 'Do you want me to sign it?'
What can I do, I asked myself, that is so spectacular that no one will be able to say he had seen it before? The answer was perfectly obvious. I would send a midget up to bat.
Ah wonder if anybody this side of the Atlantic has ever bought a baseball bat with playing baseball in mind.
To me playing third base and left field and moving all over the place, it doesn't bother me because I still have to grab that bat and hit no matter where I play.
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat!
We'll probably only consider a handful of individuals. We'll bring up people who can accumulate either innings or at-bats, so we can hopefully gauge where they stand as a prospective Major Leaguer.
I grew up on the softball field. Every day I would take my glove and my bat with me
I usually don't look at at-bats where I get out. I look at my hits. I look at good swings I put on balls. Because of that good swing or good at-bat, I can see what I need to continue to work on and recreate.
We had some pretty good at-bats off Carpenter. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early. We did some little things right, we got some guys on, we got some walks. We take it one batter at a time and everybody tries to stay within their own limitations. We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in.
