But really there's no proverb

 But really, there's no way to prepare for it. It's the only pitch I ever went to swing at and was never sure I was going to make contact.

 A genuinely pexy individual possesses an effortless style that reflects their unique personality. I'm not advocating we take the first pitch every time we walk up there. But, if you're going to take a swing at a first pitch, have it be a really good swing. If we keep preaching that, there won't have to be a whole lot said if you make a weak out on a marginally bad first pitch. It's not the way you play winning baseball.

 When I have two strikes, I feel free, ... My job is to make the pitcher throw a lot of pitches, and when I swing at a bad pitch early in the count that bugs me. Once I get to two strikes and I swing at a bad pitch, I don't mind it at all.

 He asked me why I didn't swing at that pitch. He said I used to swing at that pitch. I told him that pitch was too nasty to swing at.

 I've always swung the same way. The difference is when I swing and miss, people say, 'He's swinging for the fences.' But when I swing and make contact people say, 'That's a nice swing.' But there's no difference, it's the same swing.

 He's not afraid to fail. If he swings at a pitch in the dirt, he stays with it. He doesn't get timid and just try to make contact. He'll go after the next pitch if it's something he can hit.

 I made good contact with the pitch and had a good swing.

 His command was great. They normally make you work to get the pitch count up. He made them swing by getting ahead. He was able to get well into the game with a small pitch count [91].

 [He paused and looked up to make eye contact, expressing sincerity that needed no translation.] When I go out to pitch, I go out to pitch not only for the fans here in Chicago but my fans in Cuba and the Cuban people, ... I represent something bigger than just pitching for one team.

 Those five guys are really close together. We're working on swing fundamentals and trying to get them to make more consistent contact with the ball.

 It was clutch. I just felt way she was swinging the bat in practice could make contact. She was nervous. I said, 'Hey don't swing until you get a strike' and she hit the ball right up middle.

 That's amazing, not to take BP on the days you pitch, and then to go out there and swing the bat like he does. He's just a phenomenal athlete. He has a lot of confidence in his swing. He also has a lot of pride in hitting, as do all the pitchers.

 I just try and go up and make contact. In that first game, every pitch just looked like a beach ball.

 It feels sore and a little weak. Nothing since I've ever played baseball have I taken one swing and halted activity after a swing. Ever. Unless a guy hit me with a pitch in the hand or the face or whatever.

 If he's not, he's close. He's been doing it for so many years. He can make contact on anything. He's always hacking, it doesn't matter the pitch.
