My job isn't to strike guys out; it's to get them out - sometimes by striking them out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's tough to strike out. Believe me. I hate striking out. It's no fun. It's embarrassing. But there really isn't anything I can do. It's just a part of my game.
It's easy for people to strike if they're not working on a regular basis.
I hate striking out, but at the same time, I'm much better at letting them go rather than, earlier in my career, worrying about it so much before the next at-bat against the guy. You grow as you play, and every year, I work to cut them down.
But I'm not looking forward to trying to strike out a lot of guys.
I hate striking out, doesn't matter what time of the game. I just don't like striking out.
Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.
My job is to defeat the guy in front of me, do it until he quits, and then wait for them to send in the next guy.
When you have the opportunity, you strike.
You have to know when to strike and when to retreat.
I mean if someone you know pushes a button you're gonna strike back out.
