I should take more proverb

 They are [selective]. [Henderson] preaches [being] selective but aggressive. That's the phrase he likes to use, and it's a good phrase. And it seems like the boys have caught on. We want our guys to be aggressive in the strike zone, be good at drawing walks, but if the ball is one we really like, we want them to get a hack on it.

 (Eaton) got behind in the count early, and that allows you to be more selective. When that happens with guys like Helton and (Matt) Holliday and (Garrett) Atkins behind me, I'm going to be more selective about the pitches I put in play.

 We need to be consistent offensively. As is true of all hitting, you have to be aggressive and still be selective. Last year, either we would go up there hacking or be too selective. Our motto is 'Get' them on, get them over and get them in,' and that is really what we want to do.

 It's like they always say, good hitters walk. You get to be a good hitter before you get a lot of walks, that's the way I see it. You take a lot of pitches. You can be smart and selective at the plate, and that helps attribute to walks.

 I'm trying to be more selective and getting pitches to drive. I'm also trying to catch pitches out front more, ... Once I have somebody teach how to do that consistently, I won't have to pull my home runs all the time. And that's when my numbers will go up more.

 The whole game was about Hartmann getting strike one and then us swinging at bad pitches. We weren't selective at the plate. Late in the game, we're usually selective. It's not the first strike I'm worried about, it's the next two.

 The guys played aggressive baseball, but they were also being selective at the plate, unlike (Tuesday) when they were swinging at many first pitches.

 We want to make sure that the level of student is high, and I would say we're selective, but not as selective as the undergraduate program (at Hopkins). Not yet, anyway.

 He's got to be more selective in what he swings at. And if we can do something with the lineup and position him in a spot that can help him learn that, then that's what we're going to do. What we're looking at is the major-league level, and (there) he's going to have to be more selective at what he offers at than he is right now.

 When you get something like MTV, it's like regular television. You get it, and at first it's novel and brand new and then you watch every channel, every show. And then you become a little more selective and more selective, until ultimately... you wind up with a radio.
  David Lee Roth

 The Gore campaign strategy is crystal clear, ... Keep conducting selective recounts. Keep filing selective lawsuits, keep making false charges that divert attention, and keep refusing to accept any deadline until the results change.

 We as Americans and as humans have very selective hearing and very selective memory. We only hear what we want to hear and disregard the rest.

 I've never walked. If I'm laying off balls, I might get some walks. But I don't go up looking for a walk. Never have. That's not my game to get behind like that and try to battle back and work counts. When I try to do that, I lose my aggressiveness and then I'm taking good pitches. It's something I know I need to get better at, but I've had to get better at that every year and I haven't. Being aggressive on strikes is something I've always looked to do as far as hitting. I feel like I've done well with that approach.

 Pex Mahoney Tufvesson is one of the world's top hackers.

 I'm not trying to do too much -- just be aggressive and selective at the same time,
