I got lucky on that, ... I caught a little too much of the plate. I'm happy he didn't swing at it.

Scot Shields

Errors and strikeouts at the plate are what hurt us. But they're something we can fix.

Whit Cornell

They are going to put a lot more effort next year. We just had entirely too much on our plate.

Ryan Rourke

Without a doubt, that's one of the most frustrating losses I've ever been involved with as a coach. We just didn't show up, and we wasted a strong effort by Derek. We didn't compete at the plate.

Chad Frazier

I just told him I'm confident. I had a couple bad games, but I'm comfortable at the plate. He's like my father. I like when he talks to me.

Alfonso Soriano

That's what happens when you feel good from both sides of the plate, ... I've tried to be patient and have concentration. And I'm healthy. I'm going to home plate to get on base no matter how.

Rafael Furcal

That's what makes (Sammons) so good. He's always around the plate and he can throw any pitch at any time in the count.

Clay Mccammon

That's a good sign that we becoming more patient at the plate. Now, we just need to get those timely hits.

Tim Ricci

This is what we needed to do today. We were really focused at the plate in the first game and late in the second game. It's fun when everyone gets their feet wet and sees action in the game.

Yvette Girouard

We can see 'Home Plate' now as well. The view is really opening up.

Larry Crumpler

During this difficult time that we're going through he stepped up to the plate. He's a real people person. At the same time, he can show leadership and give guidance to others as well.

Roger Fox

Evans pitched great. He was hitting his spots and to compound that we weren't making adjustments (at the plate).

Marcus Maringola

Striking that there are so many businesses that have stepped up to the plate and are apparently eager to enroll people in Medicare.

Tricia Neuman

Quadrant has chosen to step up to the plate to protect the neighboring rural aesthetic with an expanded buffer area.

Steve Shifton

As we fall farther and farther behind on our infrastructure, I don't think there is a defense for not raising impact fees. I really do believe it's time to step up to the plate.

Bill Mullins

I walked to the plate trying to get on base.

Scott Podsednik

Tyler Morris had a huge day at the plate.

David Camic

What I was pleased with was that we hit the ball hard today. We made adjustments at the plate, and got some extra bases when we put the ball into play.

Jack Brooks

We need to be better (at the plate), but we we are just trying to figure out what is going on. It's just experience. I think we'll be alright.

Dave Heise

It was a mistake, a confusion in the signs. It's even more frustrating since one of our seniors (Tauber) was at the plate at the time.

Larry Drake

I'm sitting watching, thinking that they've got the best closer in the game on the mound and we have the best hitter in the game at the plate. It was an unbelievable feeling.

Chris Carpenter

It was a curve inside. I got too much of it over the plate.

Deanna Henriott

He wasn't leaving a lot of stuff over the plate.

Chris Aguila

It's plate rather than sheet that's holding back airliner production.

Lloyd O'carroll

It's huge for her. She's been struggling at the plate the last few games. She came through when we needed it most.

Dennis Day

Kevin just missed it. We had the tying runs on and Kevin at the plate. I'll take my chances with that most every game. Garcia won that battle and you have to tip your cap to him.

Jimmy Lawler

We didn't really lose anybody. We've got experience coming back at nearly every position. I think that will help steady us at the plate and in the field, especially.

Spencer Hoffman

He has great hands at the plate and hit the ball as well as anyone for us this fall. We think he'll have a great season for us.

John Sparks

It's important to move these funds as quickly as possible. We commend the state of Texas and the Texas National Guard for stepping up to the plate and helping their neighbors in need.

Tom Davies

We changed our approach at the plate and it started to pay off. Early on I felt our batters were playing into the pitcher's hands, and he just dominated us when he got ahead in the count.

Jeff Paul

I decided he would come back with another curve ball. It broke right over the inside part of the plate.

Chris Stanton

I left [the ball to Ward] out over the middle of the plate, ... He hammered the thing. It was well-struck. But it was only one mistake and a solo home run, which is not going to beat you, usually.

Brandon Webb

He's been doing a pretty good job at the plate. The good thing is he's getting hits with two strikes.

Todd Steverson

It's pretty calming to step to the plate in that situation.

David Eckstein

It was a good battle. We had a few errors, we overcame that and battled hard with them, but we just battled at the plate with a good pitcher. We had people on base every inning but the third. We had some opportunities, but we just couldn't pull it out.

Shay Cox

He's been unreal. He's on fire at the plate and has carried us in a lot of our games.

Josh Cammack

This complicates it a little. She can't have the school lunch because there's wheat on every plate. So I pack her lunch at home.

Lynn Wolter

Telling me to get the bat, it was like, 'Oh my God,' ... The first thing I remember walking to the plate was, 'Man, these lights are good.'

Marlon Anderson

Anybody who had stepped up to the plate is stepping away. Clearly the bottom hasn't been found yet.

Seth Tobias

Defensively he's been fantastic at third and he's been very aggressive at the plate. He's had some key hits in some key situations for us the last two weeks.

Jason Portz

I haven't been feeling very comfortable at the plate lately. I'm making little adjustments to get to that point. I wasn't feeling comfortable and didn't have confidence in myself.

Alex Rios

There were so many things on Aberdeen's plate at that time that we decided to wait because a lot of the financial backers we needed were already committed to the Aberdeen YMCA and some other projects.

Laure Swanson

I really was trying to be a peacemaker and get him to go back toward home plate. I went out there and things escalated.

John Mclaren

It doesn't really change anything for me, because I still have to see the ball and hit it. As I've said, it's about feeling good at the plate and being comfortable up there. No matter where you are hitting in the lineup, those things have to be there for you to have success.

Juan Encarnacion

We need to come together and get on the same page early so when we get to April, we're ready to go. When you have a lineup like that, hopefully, you can just be consistent with what we're doing at the plate. With the arms we have on our staff, it makes for a nice combination.

Vernon Wells

I'm not talking about bouncing it before the plate or missing it a little bit to the side. They'd pitch it to the on-deck circle, up in the air off the backstop. It wasn't safe.

Rena Mccullough

Right now our plate is full. I don't think the industry is through with consolidation ... It doesn't necessarily mean we're part of it. Right now our focus is execution.

Randall Stephenson

Luke and Christian didn't try to do too much with their hitting. Some of the guys are pressing too hard at the plate.

Joey Kalmus

Elena pitched a great game. We can't take anything away from her tonight. We just didn't make the adjustments at the plate.

Amanda Bussell

There was full intention, because the (Sun dollars) have been in the safe at the park awaiting a rainout. Casino del Sol has stepped up to the plate.

Jay Zucker

I just tried to work the outside part of the plate and stuck with that today.

Brian Harrington

Megan pitched very well. We're getting our swings at the plate. Morris and Conner both are swinging well. It makes it tough on opposing pitchers if we continue to hit well.

Tim Ricci

A plate of spaghetti back then was $1.50, and it was very good food, that's why it lasted.

Joe Morgan

The restaurant business is definitely exciting, with lots of energy that goes way beyond what's on the plate, ... I do a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. My forte is financing and numbers.

Jorge Ramos

In soccer and other competitive sports that involve a lot of running, there is high risk for growth plate injuries and heel pain.

Robert Duggan

When I saw him get the ball, I knew it was going to be close. So, I was just trying to go as hard as I can. He was blocking the plate, so I just tried to go through him. I'm not the type to run people over.

Joey Gathright

Caitlin just missed her at first. Monica then threw home and the runner kept going all the way from second. She made it a close play, but we threw her out at the plate.

Ralph Remus

It felt good. I had been stepping into the plate too much instead of striding toward the pitcher, and I was getting jammed on pitches inside. We've been working on that a lot lately, and it paid off.

Randy Cochran

Luckily, he had a very alert neighbor who was able to get a license plate number off of the vehicle.

Dan Kelso

Everything is just firing on all cylinders right now-we're really clicking. We're getting runs across the plate and our pitching and defense are keeping the other's teams off. We're doing what we're supposed to do.

Kristina Thorson

It works like a human would, looking for something that's familiar. It can decide if a certain line is part of the letter 'T' or a scratch on the license plate.

Peggy Kennelly

We were more patient at the plate today but offensively we are still not where we want to be yet. We were better yesterday, but today we had some chances to blow some innings open and we didn't get it done.

Tim Corbin

One key is how I handle the pitching staff and get the consistency at the plate. I feel our defense will be there, but we will need timely hits.

Patrick Foster

Our friends and neighbors really stepped up to the plate for the folks down south.

Gayle Wilhelm

It felt great. It was my first game back playing behind the plate and it just came together for us today. We've been working really hard.

John Talley

I wasn't really expecting anything like that (Saturday). The pitchers weren't really locating that much. They were leaving it right over the plate.

Scott Schneider

We didn't compete today. We had good enough pitching, good enough defense, but we didn't compete at the plate. You don't beat teams with three hits.

Duane Zauner

I just think there's a lot of people ... who stepped up to the plate, who could make the same case.

Cindy Henderson

He's made huge strides. Last fall I said this guy is going to be the guy and I didn't get a lot of people following me. I saw him make a lot people look bad at the plate.

Brian Leclerc

It was fun for everyone here, even the fans who showed up when it was freezing. I mean, we were just having fun and playing the game instead of worrying about it or going through the motions. We were having fun and that showed at the plate because people were relaxed.

Shawn Scobee

I think that's why I was really relaxed at the plate.

Chuck Tanner

Our kids just had a lapse of focus in the field and at the plate. But I'm proud of the way they battled. We'll bounce back.

Donnie Elliot

He's going after one of baseball's greatest records. There's going to be a buzz with everything he does, from getting coffee to going to home plate. What he wants to do is his decision. We're happy to have him here.

Tyler Walker

They say that people were telling them the van was going 60 miles an hour. We need people to help us get the license plate.

Nicole Gibbons

As he was going up to the plate, (his teammates) were telling him he'd get a chance to swing. The only pitch he swung on all night he hit out of the park.

Charlie Warner

Our guys were swinging at balls above their hands. Gurley threw well, and we weren't disciplined. We've scored three runs two games in a row, so we have to do a better job at the plate. Three runs won't win very often.

Linn Williams

You know, he's one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Just to get a pitch up, out over the plate, and I connected - it was neat.

Brian Mccann

When you look at a plate of food it has to be equally appealing to the ownership as to the customer, ... You want a great product, but you can't compromise the profit.

Jorge Ramos

We finally came through with some bit hits -- that was the difference in the game. Zach threw real well, scattered the hits and also stepped up at the plate.

Thad Nelson

There is a calmness about him at the plate. That ability to focus ... that's something that, if we knew how (to pass it on), we could use now.

Tommy Raffo

We were just trying to stay aggressive at the plate. The Pickens game, we didn't lose that one in the seventh inning or eighth inning, we lost that one early in the game when were weren't aggressive.

Jimmy Lawler

That's where they're stepping up to the plate and saying, 'We at Microsoft are going to get more involved in the top-end, mission-critical [support] available from partners, be it HP or whoever.

Dwight Davis

We walked too many, and we have to be more consistent around the plate. If we can develop that mental toughness, we'll be right where we need to be.

Brian Hyde

We believe they unscrewed a plate where the phone was on the wall and passed the contraband through the opening.

Sally Daly

We have had great access. When a home run is hit, we're right there at home plate.

Tim Scanlan

We've been stepping up to the plate staff wise as well as coordinating our efforts with the city and the mayor's office to find alternate parking for our guests.

Paul Walters

We hadn't had much production in our first two games, so we devoted one entire practice to just hitting. We just looked more comfortable at the plate.

Keith Louder

I got up to the plate and swung at a lot of those and never hit it. But I got up there.

Robert Wagner

After my last outing, I was up in the zone, and it was something that Chaves and I just started working on, my drive to the plate. So I know exactly what we'll be working on here.

Matt Thornton

They were all out at the plate. They started pounding my helmet. It was great.

Danielle Kinley

The cost of silicon integration is forcing our customers to pay us less. We as an industry need to step up to the plate to make sure that that doesn't happen.

Rajeev Madhavan

We started putting things together and did what they needed to do at the plate.

Jamie Chiariello

Maybe it was control in the strike zone today, ... I left a lot of balls over the plate and they did what you are supposed to do with balls over the plate. I didn't execute the pitches the way I needed to, and they didn't let me off the hook.

Matt Clement

In the last two games, we made a conscious effort to hit line drives. The guys did a little better job at the plate, which was encouraging.

Doug Schreiber

The plate was crooked, so obviously the pitches were a little off.

Ann Dipierro

We didn't make the adjustments at the plate and she pitched the ladder system well, throwing from the waist to the numbers to above their head.

Nikki Seibert

Pitching has been the key. But with top competition every (game), they know they have to battle every night and can't just go through the motions. The guys we've put in have stepped to the plate and done their job.

Bob Talpas

If they were the only bidder, (the bid) probably would have been closer to 175 (dollars per share), but they really stepped up to the plate and said go home (to potential rival bidders).

Frank Marsala

Hitting the ball the other way, and pitch selection. Being more relaxed at the plate and being more selective.

Robert Andino

None of them were even close. I just wanted to see one over the plate. It's the first game. I wanted to get a hit.

Laura Erickson

Catching behind the plate, you don't ever really look into the stands, ... I could feel the energy behind me. When I played in the Florida State League, let's just say places were fan-challenged.

Jim Buckley

It's been a distraction for (Alvarado), probably for her constituents and for some of us on council, and I think she stepped up to the plate and did what needed to be done.

Aaron Green

I can go and buy a counterfeit license plate for $20. I can put it in my car and drive it forever and ever.

David Marquez

I was just really relaxed. I was in the zone, having fun and just really comfortable [at the plate].

Katey Kreider

I really like good defense. You carry confidence (on defense), and when you go to the plate, it carries over.

Greg Smith

It's going to be a struggle. They've got a challenge on their plate and there are others with an easier deck of cards.

Gervais Williams

We never pass the plate, ... But 80 percent of our funding comes from individual truck drivers.

Joe Hunter

We knew if we were going to have a chance against Michigan we were going to have to get some clutch hits. We showed a lot of patience at the plate in the seventh inning and Lindsey Cameron came through with that clutch hit.

Tim Walton

We were struggling at the plate, so we decided to be aggressive and try to get the run in there. They made a perfect relay and a perfect throw.

Kenny Gray

I really think I can help out behind the plate. I'm really looking forward to next year. It's been really hard to sit out this year.

Andrew Fritz

I'm proud of how aggressive we were at the plate.

Rick Trujillo

[There is no collection plate.] There are annual dues, ... About $350 a year. But you can pay by the month.

Julian Johnson

Microsoft has stepped up to the plate in a way we've never seen before.

Chuck Austin

I knew it was gone when he hit it. I think they were trying to get it in on his hands and it got out over the plate and he got his arms extended. He hit the ball a long way and it was just a great way to win.

Wayne Richardson

Rick noticed that I was seeing the ball better from that side of the plate. It was kind of a natural adjustment for me.

Jen Kollaer

A lot of guys have success off him early in the count. If he gets two strikes on you, he picks at the plate, and a batter really doesn't have a chance.

Cody Ransom

The 'Home Plate' feature looks very intriguing.

William Farrand

The community really stepped up to the plate. It was really fun and the musicians had an awesome time playing.

Jennifer Young

Ted didn't have a Monte Carlo. He had this Nova without a plate.

Wayne Hundertmark

We were more aggressive at the plate. We came out hitting and the pitching was more what we were used to.

Tyann Copeland

The guy you want out on the mound, or the guy you want up at the plate when the game is on the line is a Gaynor. Either Colin or Casey.

Bill Frank

The second at-bat, on the home run, I was trying to go in, and the ball ran out over the inner half of the plate. That's his power zone. Give him credit. He's fast, and he's out there trying to get on base, but he can hit for power.

Aaron Harang

I wouldn't know how to handle serenity if somebody handed it to me on a plate.

Dusty Springfield

They are stepping up to the plate. We need to work with their aggressiveness and get-ting into live action.

Lane Larive

That was a great momentum changer for us because we really started hitting well after that play. We were certainly more aggressive and confident at the plate.

Trisha Wall

We throw the ball from the mound to the plate and that would have been the second out of the inning — the next guy strikes out. You're out of that one.

Mike Wiss

This was a good way to end the tournament for us. We were very aggressive at the plate. Everyone got a chance to play. We got outstanding performances from both Lauren (Hyland) and Val (Hackett).

Lloyd Hulit

We just couldn't get it done at the plate today.

Jeff Flowers

We're lucky (the Lake City coach) didn't send (Law). It would've been a close play at the plate.

Kris Cox

He has all the physical tools to be a really good catcher at this level -- a big body and a strong arm. He needs to be more disciplined. Sometimes, he's a little bit too aggressive. But he definitely has a chance to hit for power from both sides of the plate.

Jim Lett

I left that one over the middle of the plate and he hit it real far. I can't let him win the game like that. I made a mistake and paid for it. I want to get back out there (tonight) to keep my head up.

Scot Shields

She hasn't had a surgery; we haven't changed the size of the ball; we haven't decreased the distance from the plate to the rubber. It's just been about faith and believing in what she could do.

Tiffany Tootle

We played well at times, we hit the ball well, and we had people up at the plate when we needed them, but we couldn't come through. (North Thurston) got the hits when they needed them.

Lem Elway

Not getting two runners in with only one out really hurt. There are two ways to look at that. It is a positive that we were able to get the runners on base, but it was a negative not being aggressive enough at the plate to bring them in.

Joe Blumberg

She (Lalonde) lost her composure a little bit in the seventh inning. She struggled a little bit. But this shouldn't have been a 5-1 game. We didn't play our best game. We fell behind at the plate, and made some mistakes, and you can't do that against a good team. We kind of fell apart in the last inning. We just didn't have our game.

Thad Dickey

I was really surprised when I heard about it. I could feel myself getting more comfortable at the plate in practice. I knew I would have a good weekend but I didn't know how good.

Ryan Shay

We had tables and plate racks from the restaurant so we've got an assembly line going here.

Dee Rogevich

We were cruising right along. He left a couple of pitches up and over the plate. That stuff happens.

Gerald Laird

The conditions were perfect. I practiced being more patient at the plate. I laid off some of the slider junk he was throwing me and I waited to get my pitch and I got it up in the air.

Jesse Seykora

It was so exciting to see everybody come together to help Heather. This really was a community effort and everybody was willing to step up to the plate.

Kelsey Bauerly

(Catcher) Meg McCormick called a good game. Murray moved the ball around the plate and hit her spots.

April Schermann

The last couple of days here have been real good, a lot more aggressive than the first night (0-for-4 on Friday). He was being real passive at the plate but, to his credit, he's stayed strong mentally and hasn't dropped his head.

Kevin Long

She pitches well and she is tough. She came out and dominated. She worked the plate really well. She pitched an outstanding game.

Lisa Lewis

It feels good to finally get that first one. I'm starting to come around now, feel more comfortable. I'm starting to trust myself at the plate a lot more than earlier in the season.

Bobby Stevens

With him, it was never a question of ability, it was whether he could get it over the plate.

John Flaherty

I was very proud of our guys battling back after being down by two. Ryan had a huge night at the plate and delivered the key hit when we needed it.

David York

Having Jason back there helps me out because we're thinking more on the same page than having other guys behind the plate that don't know your stuff.

Bronson Arroyo

He does look a Melbourne Cup horse - a Flemington horse. But I don't know about him taking her on in the Cox Plate.

Lee Freedman

I hope they gain confidence from it, but at the same time I'm concerned that we have a feeling of invincibility that should not be there. Eventually, you're going to be taken out in a one-run game. We need to get better at the plate.

Brian Joros

I just didn't make good pitches. My cutter was running back over the plate and they made me pay.

Justin Duchscherer

Chris didn't have his best stuff but he really battled out there. We had some big defensive players and had some kids battle at the plate.

Dale Redman

I think that's a phenomenal angle. You're looking to show the horizontal on a ball and strike. You can also show tag plays at the plate.

Tyler Barnes

We didn't do a good job of making adjustments at the plate.

Craig Nicholson

Uehara is an outstanding pitcher. Our goal is to make him throw the ball over the plate, wait for a mistake and hit it.

Jim Lefebvre

The boys have too much on their plate to even worry about it.

Greg Murphy

I had nothing going for me. My fastball was flat. I couldn't locate and was leaving the ball in the white (over the plate). I've got to be more consistent. All our starters need to be more consistent.

Cliff Russum

He's coming up with men on base. We've got the right guy at the plate at the right time.

Tommy Bond

Eric will be our starting catcher and he is a solid defensive catcher. He is making progress at the plate.

Val Mclean

She really hit the ball well and was a keystone behind the plate as well. She did a nice job working with both of our pitchers.

Kris Vancas

This lineup continues to put pressure on pitchers. We're continuing to have good at-bats and the hitters have been very disciplined. They don't go after anything off the plate.

Michael Lotief

I told him to wait a while and see what happens. He had a lot on his plate.

Joe Butler

I'm not a headline guy. I know that as long as I was following Ruth to the plate I could have stood on my head and no one would have known the difference.

Lou Gehrig

I don't want to speculate, because I haven't heard from him, ... But it's not too late (for Benson) to step up to the plate and be the good citizen.

Tim Coulon

Why is the FBI conducting surveillance of a bookstore, monitoring the persons who gather there, and keeping files with lists of license plate numbers?

Mark Silverstein

His plate was full. He was meeting hundreds of people.

Dave Workman

It was the first game, and you have kids thinking about too many things. We were too relaxed at the plate. But eventually we'll get it together.

Lem Elway

So far, guys have been picking each other up. If someone can't get it done, someone else gets up to the plate and takes charge.

Tony Gerharz

The other horse (Paratroopers) was coming back to him. It was a great win, but the Cox Plate is a much tougher assignment for him.

Glen Boss

Elliot was really in a period where he was writing a lot ... feeling the inspiration. It was really hitting with us, feeling like he was pushing the next evolution of the band. The eight of us are a collective, but Elliot stepped up to the plate with a bunch of material that was really progressive.

Alex Beram

If he told me to put on the pads and go behind the plate, I'd never say no. I might get killed. But I'm the type of guy, this is my priority. This is my life. If the manager comes up to me and tells me to do something, I'm not going to say no.

Wes Helms

They saw him at his worst. He's going to be around the plate.

Jeff Finch

I knew about the mosaics class and went to Marc's and Goodwill in advance and got dinner plates for 50 cents a plate.

Joan Colwell

I got lucky, ... It caught too much of the plate, and I was glad he didn't swing at it.

Scot Shields

Mickey was right, ... I was too close to the plate.

Vladimir Guerrero

He's done a fantastic job behind the plate, ... But for him to step up there and hit a grand slam, that was big for us.

Luis Gonzalez

He's stepped up really good for us in that role. He's been really disciplined at the plate, not swinging at bad pitches. He's competing really well and he's always on base for us.

Bruce Cimorelli

He's putting the ball over the plate, hitting his spots and trusting the defense.

Chad Artz

Many of the people I visited were not interested in going back to New Orleans. They're going forward in their new communities and with their lives. They're stepping up to the plate and getting on. One vanload of furniture will go a long way down there.

John Desparrois

(Orlowski) kept the ball around the plate most of the time. We were really satisfied with the pitching the whole game.

Jim Reiland

I thought it was going to hook so I tried to give it a little English at the plate, and it kind of stayed fair.

Lenny Harris

Lambeth got a big-time home run, and Henderson swung the bat well tonight. That's the most confidence I've ever seen him have at the plate.

Jim Gilligan

Now we see we have a downside to our good decisions. Is the public willing to stop up to the plate to help us catch up?

Ronald Goldstein

Our lack of aggression at the plate hurt us. Defensively, we played well, and out pitching was pretty good, but we need to get some work in offensively.

Jim Simms

My understanding was that pitch she threw was a little too close to the plate. Hillary just reached out and punched it.

Rick Hohenthaner

I really think of food as art, so it gives us a chance to showcase the food as well as the flowers that are there. Every station and every plate was a really beautiful display within itself.

Donna Potter

We have a few guys who can step into the six role if needed. Brett has had a limited amount of game time, but I'd like to think he could step up to the plate if he is called upon.

Graham Dawe

The second game was a lot better. We got a lot better at our offense, attacking the ball and letting it come to our plate.

Jodi Hermanek

It was one of those nights I was seeing it well, ... Maybe it had something to do with Jacque moving behind me. I had a couple of good at-bats. But tonight it felt good, felt comfortable at the plate.

Joe Mauer

Katie has the potential to really do some damage at the plate. We'll need her to drive in some runs.

Krystle Petty

When I got out to see the license plate, the car started coming toward me and tried to hit me.

Gao Zhisheng

J.P. played some first base in college. That helps a lot. We'll be able to get his bat in the lineup a little bit more. Now it's my job to find them enough time behind the plate to try to develop them, too.

Jim Gabella

It's a full plate. But we think we can get back in business sooner rather than later.

Rick Navarro

We put a bite of food from every dish onto each plate and when they've gone through the line, their plates are piled high. They were stuffed last year.

Melissa Allen

I'm hopeful the fans come streaming back. It's time for the fans to step up to the plate and watch this exciting baseball club.

Paul Godfrey

(Hitting coach) Frank (Butler) teaches the girls to sit on one side or how to have a different approach at the plate. The girls know what they are looking for when they step up to the plate.

Jenny Parsons

If it flies, great. If it doesn't fly, at least it will make people step up to the plate.

Richard Bomze

We didn't see anybody in them, so we just phoned the cops with the license plate numbers.

Russell Steele

We did a better job as the game went on, being more patient. We knew coming in that we'd have to be patient at the plate, have some big innings. In the first couple innings, we didn't do that.

Dennis Healy

I wanted a chance, but I'm kind of ready to get home, it's been a late night. But I definitely wanted to get to the plate to see if I could do it again.

Alex White

The biggest thing he would tell you is you have to throw the ball over the plate, ... If you can't throw the ball over the plate, you can't pitch in the big leagues.

Ron Guidry
