“I think [it bothers him] more so in the field than at the plate. It's when he slows down or takes off or when he dives for a ball and hits it wrong, those are the times you see it. He's had to play with it all year and some days it's better than others. We've tried to monitor it and give him a day off when he needs a day off. The way he's swinging right now, it's hard to give him a day off.”

“shoot for perfection and you will achieve excellence.”
Scott Roth
“When our plates were issued last July, I had no idea how big the license plate collector market was.”
Jane Heath
“Save when at noon his paunch grew mutinous / For a plate of turtle green and glutinous.”
Robert Browning
“When I got out to see the license plate, the car started coming toward me and tried to hit me.”
Gao Zhisheng
“Just got a fastball out over the plate and did what I wanted to do. I think the ball was carrying. I think the wind was bouncing off the stands and sending the ball back out.”
Jermaine Dye
“We didn't have much leeway to run, ... When they're 1.2 (seconds) to the plate and with Molina, that's difficult to run. You have to pick a pitch to do it on, and he didn't throw many curveballs.”
