Bowl better, Bat better, Catch better, communicate better... Just bloody play better.... I am now available for Selection of Australia..!!!!!
And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it.
I feel like when I arrive at the hospital I want a glass of whiskey, I want the epidural in my back. And, I want to get hit in the face with a baseball bat...
Everybody has bad at-bats -- except McCutchen.
I'm always alright, as long as I've got [a bat].
You can't blame someone for not knowing what his or her job should be if you don't ask for it right off the bat.
There's no better sight on the cricket field than watch Tendulkar bat.
Place hitting is, in a sense, glorified bunting. I only take a half swing at the ball, and the weight of the bat rather than my swing is what drives it.
I always respect right off the bat because we are human, but then over time you learn who the person truly is, just like they learn about you. Hope it works out really well, and you hope that builds a stronger connection over time. You can't be friends with everybody.
Actually I'd always thought he sat in the library with a slim volume of metaphysical poetry until the commissioner called him on the bat phone and summoned him into action. Holy paranormal activity, Nightingale - to the Jag mobile.
When you go to bat as many times as I do, you're bound to get a good average. That's why I keep my projects diversified.
He bats like a lightning rod.
Welcome it as part of a process... you just can't avoid it... if you go to bat enough times, you are going to strike out; and you will do it cataclysmically; and you know success and failure are just millimeters apart.
He (Eric Davis) gets power from his bat speed.....it's like he has cork in his arms.
The truth is, we [women] live like bats, or owls, labor like beasts, and die like worms.
You're going to go through times when you don't do too well, or you may have some slumps or get outpitched. Just keep going up there and having your at-bats, keep having your same approach and keep trying to make little adjustments like you do during the season.
So he left the lagoon and entered the jungle again, within a few days was completely lost, following the lagoons southward through the increasing rain and heat, attacked by alligators and giant bats, a second Adam searching for the forgotten paradises of the reborn Sun.
Tara (Lipinski) got out there like a bat out of hell and skated her guts out. Michelle skated very well, but she skated conservatively. She skated great, just not fantastic. That was the difference.
It's good to find the barrel of the bat again.
I think of myself as 'catching' the ball with my bat and letting the pitcher supply the power.
The beanball is one of the meanest things on Earth and no decent fellow would use it. The beanball is a potential murderer. If I were a batter and thought the pitcher really tried to bean me, I'd be inclined to wait for him outside the park with a baseball bat.
The town I grew up in was at least fifty percent Jewish, so every weekend in the 7th grade, we went to Bar and Bat Mitzvahs.
I'm still very critical of myself, but I've learned to deal with it. You know that every at-bat is important, but it's not life and death.
Obviously, success breeds more confidence. And it's pretty easy to be confident if you're getting a hit almost every time at bat.
Hitters are too big, too strong, and their bats are too quick. I have to go inside to have success.
