Baseball Wisdom Sayings

[gblowfish]

This has been such a great baseball week here in KC. So glad the team got to catch a breather for a few days before going into the ALCS.

I was thinking today about "baseball advice" I've learned over the years. Some of my favorite tidbits of wisdom are "Catch it with both hands." "Choke up with two strikes." "Don't make the final out at third base." "Look for the fast ball and wait on the curve." "Walk's as good as a hit." "It just takes one." "Guard the line in the late innings." "Hit it where they ain't," and my favorite I learned from my dad (when you get hit by a pitch) "Rub some dirt on it..."

What are your favorite baseball wisdom sayings?

Betty Crocker had mental illness, and the batter does, too.

Don't leave anything to chance, unless of course you have Tinker and Evers at second and short. Then it's fine.

[Old Dog]

Damn ump, one more good eye and you would be a cyclops.

[blaise]

I know every time a guy hits a single to the opposite field the TV announcer will say, "nice piece of hitting."

"Take a couple on a 3-0 count." "Back him off the plate." "Pitch to contact." "Make him show his best move before you steal." "Run through the bag." "Breathe through your eyelids."

"Do Not Gamble on Baseball." - Got that PETE ROSE???

[Goldmember]

I'm not sure whether it's a good or bad thing. They Royals might have time to realize, "Fuck, we are in the playoffs!" and tighten up their sphincters.

[KINGPIN CHIEFS FAN]

you can't steal first base, hit it where they ain't, it ain't over till it's over, good pitching beats good hitting, the worst day at the baseball park is better than the best day at work.

"Das da way baseball go."

If ya wanna dream a little bit.

Anyone that grew up listening to the Royals on the Radio has heard that one.
It was mentioned right before listing all the players necessary to load the bases before Brett could hit a grand slam to tie the game
