“I threw a lot of balls and walked a lot of batters. Not something I'm proud of, but something I learned from.”
Randy Johnson
“Seeing through the jungle is next to impossible, with a little help anyone can not only see through it but also walk through it.”

“Paige threw really well tonight. She walked the first batter of the game and then settled into a nice groove. She looked pretty sharp for her first game out this year.”
Darcy Rigsby
“Kline pitched well. He threw the ball over the plate and only walked two batters. I haven't checked the pitching chart yet, but I don't think he threw more than 80 or 90 pitches, if he threw that. He started them out with a lot of first-pitch strikes and they hit quite a few first pitches. When he throws from the same arm slot, he gets the ball over.”
Bob Thomas

Ken Macha
“We just got sloppy at the end. We can't walk batters. We had way too many walks.”
Alan Watkins
