A sore arm is like a headache or a toothache. It can make you feel bad, but if you just forget about it and do what you have to do, it will go away. If you really like to pitch and you want to pitch, that's what you'll do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sooner or later the arm goes bad. It has to... Sooner or later you have to start pitching in pain.
If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.
If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.
The only way you preserve pitching arms is throwing; that makes the arm stronger.
I don't want to pitch forever.
I still think there are some pitches in this pitching arm, so I will continue playing with USA Softball, but knowing that this could be the last time a softball player stands on the Olympic podium and has the opportunity of experiencing this - it was emotional.
I love to pitch so much.
When you're mad at someone, it's probably best not to break his arm with a baseball bat.
When I get onto the pitch, I block out everything around it, and I really focus on the pitch.
If a pitcher sees you fiddling with the bat, he'll stall until your arms are tired before you even get a chance to hit.
