It's a matter of familiarity. Working together, catchers get to know what pitchers like to throw in situations, like with two strikes. They know what a pitcher can do, and can't.

Bryan Price

That was the plan heading into this game. We wanted to get some runs on the board early and hopefully Jake would throw strikes and our defense would make plays.

Anthony Butler

Mike Shimek

Jim Gabella

If something has been prepared for sea (shipping) and suddenly it needs to be flown, then the cargo probably needs to be prepared for flying very differently than it was prepared for sea. We have to put this together at very short notice. It strikes us that to do planning in advance would be more sensible.

Tony Bauckham

(Davis) threw strikes. Our defense is good and if we get people throwing strikes we're going to get people out.

Craig Milburn

We've got some pretty good arms. It's just a matter of throwing strikes and whether we can make the plays behind them.

Smoke Laval

Given that 80 percent of people find a site through a search engine, it strikes me that there are potentially big dollars in this market.

We've been using (Lucier) in relief. He has the ability to throw a number of pitches for strikes. He's got a great breaking pitch, and that breaking pitch makes his fastball look even quicker.

Greg King

It's because we have made the government look really bad by the hunger strikes. And its only way to resolve differences with its own people is violence.

Gao Zhisheng

The last game he started, he had some trouble with walks. The rain-outs probably helped us. We were able to work with him the last two days in the gym and he did what we asked him to do; keep the ball low and in on their hands, just throw strikes basically.

Bruno Pappasergi

We're asking him to make a big jump from junior high to high school. He's very quick and is poised. It will be interesting to see how he does. He runs fast and throws strikes when he pitches. He's a student of the game.

Steve Mcfall

We got good pitching in both games. There was one shakey inning against Hanks, but other than that we were throwing strikes and getting outs.

Pete Southall

Hey, you can't take anything away from Lakewood Ranch. They put their bats on the ball, threw strikes and played good defense.

Bob Bruglio

The thing that strikes me most of all [about the experience] is that it's just been wildly collaborative. Joe [Brooks] set up a rehearsal room where we could all just dig in and play together, and we've had a great time. So we really all feel kind of responsible together, like we created this all together.

Jessica Boevers

He (King) comes in in short spots because he can throw strikes.

John Carlock

The guys that came in after [Curry] did a tremendous job throwing strikes and really challenging their hitters, and that is what we preach to our staff.

Jane Porter

Everything was going fine. Then I walked the leadoff batter, and that's never good. I still felt like I was getting ahead of the hitters, but I just didn't make good pitches with two strikes.

Brad Halsey

For us to have a chance this season, we need to throw strikes and make the routine defensive plays. When you do that, you have a chance to win.

Ryan Dunlap

Warning strikes will also take place at Opel.

Klaus Franz

You take it as it comes, and I'm real happy with the way I felt out there. I was able to command some pitches for strikes and stay around the zone, and that's all I can ask for right now.

Jon Rauch

He pitched really well. His arm was a little sore Friday and that's why we took him out. He doesn't throw hard, but he throws strikes and keeps the ball low.

Craig Lambert

It was all a bit strange as no other airline seemed to have suffered from lightning strikes and later we were told there had been a technical fault.

Paul Dooley

This bizarre, dysfunctional but loving family strikes a chord when there are so many untraditional families today.

Carm Mazza

Josh Towers

Carl Hunckler

Roger Ortmeier

The public trusts city officials to call balls and strikes on this.

Tom Graham

Striking out has not been that much of a problem. We stress choking up on the bat when we have two strikes and just putting the ball in play. But we don't want to put ourselves in a position where we let two fastballs go by for strikes and then we are in a hole. That is a problem we've had with some of our guys.

John Carlock

I was real happy with Gill; he came in and gave us some good innings. He throws strikes which is good and we have been wanting to get ho, some work because we feel he can be a guy for us. He will definitely get some innings when we start getting more games in.

Dan Ariola

[However, it is true that they had to record the Kimono My House LP in a Britain plagued by power strikes in 1974.] They told us that we could work from, like, noon to four - but after that there was no power.

Russell Mael

We have to throw strikes.

Mark Gustafson

You talk to scouts and you keep hearing there is a real shortage of pitching. There's a real shortage of guys who can throw strikes. Pitching is that valuable.

Scott Justus

Each time a man stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Robert Francis Kennedy

He usually throws strikes, so when he threw only one strike in his four pitches something was off. That was uncharacteristic, but he settled in and got ahead of the hitters.

Mike Getkin

We did some good things. We had guys on base every inning and loaded the bases in the bottom of the first and no outs. (But) our hitter goes after a bad pitch and hits into a double play. Then the next guy grounds out. To me, that's a mental mistake because you don't go after pitches like that, especially with no strikes.

Pete Porath

If the employers are not able to make a negotiable offer and look for a solution at the negotiating table, there is no other option than to say 'enough is enough' and to call for a reasonable solution through warning strikes.

Juergen Peters

Logan is throwing the ball very well. In two outings he's given up 4 or 5 hits with 17 strikeouts. When you throw a lot of strikes it's easier to play rhythm baseball. We didn't have any errors tonight and that's something very big to build on.

Andy Hallett

I guess he thought I was arguing balls and strikes.

John Gibbons

It seems like every time they have their backs up against the wall, he comes out and throws strikes. He has a good knack for getting the ball out to kids he needs to get it to.

Brian Dunn

It is clear that North Dakota, and the Red River Valley, desperately need a supplemental source of water before the next drought strikes. The question becomes, how can the residents of the valley promise future generations a better way of life, without a plan in place to address the critical water issues?

Dale Frink

It is going to make for a very long and emotional summer. As far as I'm concerned, when anything unusual strikes fear in you is no way to live in the United States of America. But that is what is going to happen until any sort of comprehensive legislation is passed.

Carlos Acosta

She hits her spots pretty good. We were down in the count a lot and she caught a couple of us swinging over our heads (on third strikes).

Sue Herodes

(Massey has) really been our leader throughout most of the season. He did a great job of getting out ahead of the batters and throwing strikes.

Will Flowers

That always makes me feel a lot better. I have more confidence in myself. I know I can throw strikes. Pretty much all the time, they're going to make plays.

Brad Labruyere

Overall, I am really happy with how we played. Erick pitched really well. He threw strikes and located well.

Steve Rodriguez

Ron Hoyt

Josh threw strikes and we made the plays in the field behind him.

Howard Inch

When the clock strikes 2, 3, and 4, if the band slows down we'll yell for more.

Bill Haley

You have to be very patient up there. And you have to believe you can hit with two strikes.

Steve Henderson

Chris has always been great at throwing low strikes to get those easy ground balls that we can field for those easy outs. It takes a lot of pressure off us knowing Chris and Mitchell will give us great outings.

Tim Pruitt

The umpire did the best he could, but some pitches were so far out. You can't call balls one and two feet over the batters head strikes.

Bob Tomlinson

He had three pitches going today and he was throwing them all for strikes. I was really pleased with the way he stayed ahead in the count.

Matt Nosack

(Jones) threw a lot of strikes. This being our first game of the year, our offense is not where it should be. And he took advantage of that.

Troy Thompson

We've been talking a lot about receiving -- keeping balls in the zone and working on footwork. There is an art to getting strikes. I'm learning a lot and making a lot of adjustments. It's helping me a lot.

Josh Willingham

He's got the potential to be a pretty decent pitcher. He throws strikes, throws the ball hard. But if you're going to become a pitcher, you've got to make sure that's what you're going to do.

Chris Jones

He didn't try to do anything extra. He just went with the pitch and did what he had to do. That was a great piece of hitting with two strikes.

Keith Mitchell

With the wind that was blowing, I didn't see how he could throw strikes, but he did. I'm very proud of what Josh Reed did.

Joey Kalmus

He's gotten a little bigger. Hopefully, he found a couple more miles per hour on his fastball, and he will continue to throw strikes.

Tracy Powell

Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me; only the haters seem alive.

Walker Percy

Concerns about ethics tend to be episodic, and those episodes are stimulated when there are horror strikes. And, of course, Tennessee Waltz was a real horror story.

Bruce Oppenheimer

It's clear to me that I have to go in there and get guys out. Regardless of what inning or what role, my job is to throw strikes and get guys out.

Josh Hancock

You only get strikes in the areas where it still looks like the old economy, not the new.

David Coates

He's got a great eye, a great swing. He's one of the guys you've got to fear. I never did understand why he strikes out so much.

Bobby Cox

We've been working a lot with hitting with runners in scoring position and two-strike hitting and things. When you get two strikes, you shorten (your swing) up and try to hit it square.

Marcus Maringola

I figured with two strikes that I didn't have a lot to lose, ... With (Travis) Hafner up there I had a lot of room to move, so I took off.

Grady Sizemore

There was no reason at all to toss me. Everyone thought the ball hit the dirt. I guess he thought I was arguing balls and strikes.

John Gibbons

The kids are throwing strikes, and for the most part, we are playing defense behind them. We've emphasized mixing your pitches up and throwing strikes, and both kids did that today.

Joe O'donnell

All I do is throw strikes and let the defense help out behind me. I trust in these guys and expect them to make plays for me. And this season they have been. It's been nice.

James Osterkamp

Hitting is business. With two strikes you really protect that plate.

Bill Terry

This project strikes to the heart of our mission to connect people and communities to the rivers and to make the riverfronts the front yard of the city.

Jim Cahill

It was definitely a reality check. ... What strikes you the most is that there were a lot of young people, 18- to 25-year-olds.

Mats Sundin

The guys have been looking forward to conference play. Every weekend is going to be tough and this was no exception. James Stephens came in and threw strikes with all of his pitches and kept them off balance.

Jeff Schexnaider

I thought (Shaver) had big-league command. Everything was down in the zone. He threw 43 strikes in 58 pitches.

Tom Pratt

It was hard for us to get hits because she wasn't going to throw strikes. She threw the ball well and had a lot of movement, and she made us chase the ball. Once we showed patience, she got behind in the count and flattened out some pitches that we were able to hit.

Tim Mackin

We've literally struggled throwing strikes. It's throwing strikes one night and errors another night. If we can get those two area straightened out, we'll be all right because we hit the ball very well.

Steve Rose

It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.

Robert Francis Kennedy

We were running a little low on pitchers so the No. 5 and 6 guy gets some work. Josh did a good job. He had command of his pitches and threw strikes.

Pete Hertler

I was trying to throw a lot of strikes. I stuck to my pitch sequence.

Kevin Dixon

Joey and Josh both threw strikes, but you can't have five errors and expect to win.

Brian Shipley

My fastball was working today, but I was not throwing anything else for strikes.

Bryan Brainer

It always strikes me when I look at the magic of compounding how sad it is that people don't start saving earlier.

Barbara Chown

Some people might think that it was a bad time to come back into a game, but I thought it was great. I love the challenge. I love to be aggressive. Just go after people. Throw strikes. Get the job done.

Kelvim Escobar

The president believes that under no circumstances should we slide towards confrontation (with the West), but we should call things by their name. The military strikes are unacceptable and should be stopped.

Dmitry Yakushkin

I haven't had a bad start this year. In general I have been throwing strikes and the defense has been really good behind me.

Dean Kiekhefer

R.J. threw the ball extremely well in his first start of the year. He threw strikes, and we made all the routine plays. I'm very pleased with the effort.

Richard Labounty

The psychic space that Pac-Man grew to occupy in early 1980s popular culture was truly enormous, filling in the vacuum of downtime between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" and stepping into the breach vacated by Kiss, when all of Am.

Chris Green

She just kept throwing strikes. She got down on the count some, but she just kept on trucking. She didn't let it stop her or get down on herself or anything like that. She kept her game face on.

Tammy Crowley

He throws a lot of strikes. And the pitches we did get to hit, we didn't do anything with them.

Juan Pierre

When you get to the playoffs, you'll win it with pitching, defense and timely hitting. That was a good pitcher. He's got good command of about three or four pitches, threw them for strikes and kept us off balance. We've got to get out heads up and try to take care of business Thursday. We're not done yet.

Jason Horne

For him to come in under those conditions and throw strikes was a tremendous job.

Gary Miner

The problem with lightning is, it kills 10 percent of the people it strikes. The 90 percent that live wish they didn't.

Mike Utley

I feel good out there right now and I'm throwing strikes, plus the hitting and defense has been just great.

Brian Boone

Tyler Johnson

I'm being aggressive and throwing strikes, ... Finally, it's coming together.

Jose Contreras

It is deeply regrettable ... that these strikes could not be avoided.

Joschka Fischer

I had 30 strikes in 35 shots.

Charlie Harris

Kenny was outstanding; he was throwing three pitches for strikes and kept Central off balance. I was real proud of his effort.

Fred Bencriscutto

I'm hoping our guys throw strikes and not be so much in awe of who we're facing. I don't want them thinking about getting autographs in the middle of the game.

Ashlee Smith

He did a good job throwing strikes and that helped us out.

Sid Wheatley

He goes out there, throws strikes and really battles hard on the mound. We know anytime that D.J. is on the mound we have a good chance to win.

Jimmy Lawler

Our pitchers have been making great pitches. If our pitchers are throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters, that's all we can ask.

John Gonzalez

I was able to throw everything for strikes, ... I was able to make pitches when I needed to. It was a good day.

Shawn Chacon

Any time a person intentionally strikes a law enforcement officer we take it very seriously. It's a felony. It's a very brazen act. It's not tolerated.

Kathy Collins

I don't know what the count was, but I know I had two strikes. I was protecting anything close. She just happened to put one over the plate and I just swung.

Nichole Beall

I didn't know him. But the first time I saw him I liked his arm and the way he pitches. He throws strikes. But he loves to pitch. I like that.

Mario Soto

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

Bill Veeck

We couldn't get ahead in the count. We weren't throwing strikes. You got to get ahead of a good hitting ball clubs.

Rob Rowe

This strikes me as something under the category of unbelievably bad luck, where you cut one line and have that kind of cascading effect.

Bob Finkelstein

You're born with two strikes against you, so don't take a third one on your own.

Connie Mack

The strikes and good economic indicators from China are supporting this round of the rally. The positive aspects of fundamentals are attracting more hedge funds, pension funds into metals and other commodities.

Gu Yuan

(Byrd) has always been that kind of pitcher, trying to trick you, keep the ball low, in and out. He threw a lot of strikes, worked it inside and out, threw breaking balls for strikes behind in the count.

Adrian Beltre

Once they come back and see there's no way to catch up, that's a realization that strikes many of them as a surprise and a disappointment.

Kevin Roberts

Being ready before the storm strikes is sometimes the difference between life and death.

Jeff Last

Jake Wade did just such a great job throwing strikes, going right at them. He pitched six quality innings. It was just nice to see him come out like that.

Jim Schmitz

She was really aggressive throwing strikes. That is something to build on.

Rob Adams

He didn't crush it, but it got us a run there. He put the ball in play with two strikes and that was very important. We've struck out a lot early on and for him to come through like that was good.

Tim Funkhouser

We haven?t hit the ball real well all year, and finally we?re starting to come around on that. We worked hard on that in the last week or two. We?re swinging at pitches that we could hit. We got more selective at the plate and it really paid off for us. Hitting strikes, driving the ball well.

Bob Lewellen

Our pitchers did an excellent job of throwing strikes and getting outs when we needed them.

Jared Ingersol

We're going to pitch, but we didn't pitch great today. There's no doubt about that. Clayton McMillan did pitch well. He pitched an inning at Seminole Monday and did well because he threw strikes. That's the whole deal for him, throwing strikes.

James Mansinger

It is a really big deal to throw strikes in high school baseball. Walks are so big, and it was nice that we didn't give them up. Our guys really threw well. If we can just keep it up, I think we can have a good year.

Jeff Myaer

We battled back and I was proud of the boys because this win puts us right where we want to be in the conference. Mueller came in, threw strikes and was dominating for us.

Justin Hraby

Kevin is great to play behind. He works relatively fast, uses his fastball and throws strikes, and makes it easier on his defense.

Hank Blalock

We're cutting down on errors and throwing more strikes. When you do that you give yourself a better chance to win, and they are starting to play with more confidence out there.

Mike Jones

He was battling. He was throwing strikes and he had a lot of pop on his fastball. He was locating it really well.

Roger Ortmeier

Darrell couldn't throw strikes during the fall of his freshman year. We work so much with our pitchers in the fall on fastball command and his fastball is his No. 3 pitch.

Mike Trapasso

He was awesome tonight. We had him with 19 of 23 first pitches for strikes, nine two-strike counts, 41 fastballs for strikes -- he just couldn't have been better.

John Tamargo

It felt good to get out there and throw strikes. My command was the key tonight. I was able to spot my pitches and hit spots which really helped me out.

Chris Dennis

Bo did a great job of throwing strikes and letting the defense to play behind him. He kept the ball low, and he gave us a chance to win.

Jimmy Harris

Elimination of the nuclear program is not possible, but with the right strikes you could decisively set them back.

Ashton Carter

I think the markets had largely been expecting some sort of air strikes, and had pretty much factored that in.

Michael Derks

He comes with an enormous amount of good will. I mean, people have really seen him stand up in strikes and organizing drives and things that most vice presidents of the United States have never done, and that is enormously appreciated and gives him a lot of credit.

Andy Stern

It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else's sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean their house.

River Phoenix

Maybe... there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for unlawfully detaining 120 people. Maybe they just got carried away with last year's idea of pre-emptive strikes and thought, 'Let's not wait for an actual crime to occur. Let's get the innocent.

Mark Thomas

The IEM team's approach to catastrophic planning meets the challenges associated with integrating multi-jurisdictional needs and capabilities into an effective plan for addressing catastrophic hurricane strikes, as well as man-made catastrophic events.

Wayne Thomas

He wasn't throwing many first-pitch strikes.

Jim Moccio

We looked at too many strikes and just didn't have the pitch selection (on Wednesday). Against Sacramento, we've got to swing at our own strikes and not the pitcher's strikes. We've got to be willing to swing the bats. If we do, we'll be fine.

Diane Ninemire

Sometimes that pressure to make the team is good. Now it's more about getting into a good hitter's count and not about getting hits. Am I swinging at strikes and getting good pitches to hit? Any time you can get familiar or comfortable, it's easier to relax.

Adam Melhuse

Dylan threw strikes and that made for a good outing.

Aaron Bender

The hurricane that affects Cuba today affects the United States tomorrow. And when one strikes the U.S., it can also hit Cuba or any other country in the region.

Jose Rubiera

I work in the fitness center in the school and he was there five days as week in the off-season. He throws strikes and he's very effective. I would say he's ready to have a good year.

Mike Zadroga

Just getting ahead early, I think, was a big key. We came out kind of flat the first two innings. We just stepped it up later in the game and got on them. We kept putting up runs. It's easy to play when you've got a pitcher up there throwing strikes.

Damon Sublett

More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution.

James Thomson

We're throwing strikes off the mound and playing good defense. And we've been having some guys come up and get some big hits when we've needed to.

David Mcginnis

At the end of the game I was getting frustrated and worn down. I was having trouble throwing strikes and losing some confidence.

Grace Luginbuhl

Basically, he does a good job of throwing strikes, and he makes the other team hit the ball. He's not overpowering, (but) he throws strikes and doesn't walk too many.

John Greene

Strikes are always a possibility. But we are not a strike-happy union. I look at strikes as a failure.

John Wilhelm

Comply with all of your commitments to the United Nations or face military strikes.

John King

So maybe lightning will strike before lightning strikes me.

Harry Harrison

Those two base hits I gave up, I had two strikes on both the hitters, and I take pride in that. When you get two strikes on a guy, you have to put them away. After that, I took it upon myself if I get two strikes on a guy to try and go ahead and put them away.

Josh Cribb

I've changed some things this year. It has been more mental. I don't think it's mechanical. I'm trying to continue to not chase bad pitches and look more for my pitches on different counts, ... Tom McCraw has gotten to my head enough by saying, 'Until you get two strikes, hit your pitch.' And I'm starting to do that a lot more.
