“The umpire was a little uncomfortable with me. I just didn't pay attention to it. The pitch was inside and I thought it was a good pitch. My only reaction was 'Wow!' and he came running at and said, 'Don't do that again.”
Wandy Rodriguez
“After the game the plate umpire said Valle was around the plate with every pitch. He pitched well, especially for the climate.”
Rick Mitchell
“The umpire was a little uncomfortable with me, but I didn't pay much attention to him. I knew I had to go to the next hitter, and that's what I concentrated on.”
“You're told by the umpire that you're allowed to pitch inside. What does that do? You're allowed to pitch inside until we feel like in our minds that you're throwing at someone intentionally. How do you know when that is?”
Frank Robinson
“All you umpires, back to the bleachers. Referees, hit the showers. It’s my game. I pitch, I hit, I catch. I run the bases. At sunset, I’ve won or lost. At sunrise, I’m out again, giving it the old try.”
Ray Bradbury
“Whenever you have a tight situation and there's a close pitch, the umpire gets a squawk no matter how he calls it.”
Red Barber
“The umpire didn't give me a pitch, the slider. Delgado hit a good pitch.”
