A lot of times, I've always looked at pitching in the All-Star Game as a prelude to how you pitch in the postseason, sometimes how you might have to pitch on two days' rest out of the pen, only throw one inning and then you have to go face the best hitters. That's what you do in the All-Star Game.

Max Scherzer

One strange quality of writing about political campaigns is that it's a little like writing about a baseball game inning by inning. We presume we can say something about the final result from the state of play a third of the way through. You can when a game is a colossal blowout, but you can't when it's close.

John Podhoretz

We've got to decide, how much replay do we want? Because if you start doing it from the first inning to the ninth inning, you may have to time the game with a calendar.

Joe Torre

You've got to try to close every inning out, take it one inning at a time, one batter at a time.

Gerrit Cole

I really believe that what happens one day affects the next, and I think that came from that experience of learning that if I told the score inning by inning, play by play, it built up to its natural climax.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

I would love to say that I have an eighth-inning guy, a seventh-inning guy, a left-handed guy, a long guy.

Brad Ausmus

Marcus Rashford has done really well. He had a great first season, and then people had really high expectations, but he showed his quality on the pitch in the second season.

Park Ji-sung

all through my childhood, my father kept from me the knowledge that the daily papers printed daily box scores, allowing me to believe that without my personal renderings of all those games he missed while he was at work, he would be unable to follow our team in the only proper way a team should be followed, day by day, inning by inning. In other words, without me, his love for baseball would be forever incomplete.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

Baseball is great because anything can happen through the ninth inning.

Richard M. Nixon

I prefer to be a great team not only on paper but also on the pitch. The pitch is the truth. The pitch speaks.

Antonio Conte

I set myself high standards on the pitch and I know I have not always lived up to them this season.

Rio Ferdinand

I set myself high standards on the pitch and know I have not always lived up to them this season.

Rio Ferdinand

I don't have to get a pitch down the middle. If I like the pitch-even if it's 15 inches off the plate, and that's the pitch I wanted-I'm swinging.

Vladimir Guerrero

What you have to remember is that baseball isn't a week or a month but a season - and a season is a long time.

Chuck Tanner

To me, baseball is as honorable as any other business. It is the most honest pastime in the world. It has to be, or it could not last a season out. Crookedness and baseball do not mix. It has become immeasurably more popular as the years have gone by. It will be greater yet. This year, 1919, is the greatest season of them all.
