If there's a man on second, I'm trying to get him in with a base hit. The doubles and homers will come. Sooner or later they'll go out naturally. I'm just trying not to do too much.

Prince Fielder

You're not necessarily going to sneak out many cheap ones, but the ones that are supposed to be homers are homers when you're playing at home.

Christian Yelich

That is what I always said as I don't want to be one-dimensional; I don't want to just hit homers or have to walk or bunt to get on base.

Trea Turner

I'm solo, and I love being solo. I believe I went through the Roses so I could become a solo music-maker. That's what I believe.

Ian Brown

What I like about 'Game of Thrones' is that there's such a wide range. We have everything from very small, just solo instrument pieces, just the solo violin or solo cello, and then we go all the way to these bigger action moments.

Ramin Djawadi

By the time my first solo record came out, I was making a handsome living as a record producer. I had worked with the Band, Janis Joplin and all of these other artists in the Albert Grossman organization. So as my so-called solo career evolved, I never felt pressure that I had to come back and top when I might've done before.

Todd Rundgren

The base has chosen or is choosing a candidate that the establishment says is absolutely unacceptable. And what that means is this marriage of an elite, big business-backed establishment and a blue-collar, downwardly mobile base has really come to a divorce.

Mara Liasson

On 'Metallica,' I recorded six or seven different guitar solos for almost every song, took the best aspects of each solo, mapped out a master solo and made a composite. Then I learned how to play the composite solo, tightened it up and replayed it for the final version.

Kirk Hammett

It is important to have a base in life, and from that base you can enjoy it. To me the base is family.

Rita Tushingham

Come one, come all! this rock shall fly From its firm base, as soon as I.

Walter Scott

My solo series, in some ways, have been rarely truly solo.

Marjorie Liu

I hate the solo artist aspect of rock-'n'-roll. I don't have enough personality or charisma to be a solo star.

Dave Grohl

There is a solo on 'Spiders,' albeit a kind of a non-traditional solo, but that's what I love.

Jim Root

Base words are uttered only by the base And can for such at once be understood; But noble platitudes - ah, there's a case Where the most careful scrutiny is needed To tell a voice that's genuinely good From one that's base but merely has succeeded.
