The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid. And if the hitter is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

Don Drysdale

Anytime a pitcher hasn't faced a hitter, I feel the pitcher has the advantage. The more times the hitter sees somebody, the more the advantage goes to the hitter.

Clayton Kershaw

Until every good man is brave, we must expect to find many good women timid--too timid even to believe in the correctness of their own best promptings, when these would place them in a minority.

George Eliot

All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.

George S. Patton

I never want to play timid or scared of anything, especially when my pitcher or my teammates are out there going 100 percent.

Aaron Judge

Philosophy is by the timid for the timid.

Christina Stead

I let myself go at the beginning and write with an easy mind, but by the time I get to the middle I begin to grow timid and to fear my story will be too long. . .That is why the beginning of my stories is always very promising and looks as though I were starting on a novel, and the middle is huddled and timid, and the end is...like fireworks.

Anton Chekhov

Support the strong, give courage to the timid, remind the indifferent, and warn the opposed.

Whitney M. Young

Babe Ruth

Harold Klemp

The best compliment you can give a hitter is he's a tough out; that initiates fear in a pitcher.

Billy Butler

Anytime you can see a hitter and face a hitter, you gain knowledge, and you gain that experience. Whether they hit a homerun off you, or you strike them out or whatever it is, it's information.

Jon Lester

Some coaches believed they could judge a player's performance simply by watching it. In this they were deeply mistaken. The naked eye was an inadequate tool for learning what you needed to know to evaluate baseball players and baseball games. Think about it. One absolutely cannot tell, by watching, the difference between a .300 hitter and a .275 hitter. The difference is one hit every two weeks. The difference between a good hitter and an average hitter is simply not visible-it is a matter of record
