It's Better To Throw A Theoretically Poorer

There Is Among Us A Far Closer Relationship Than The Purely Social One Of A Fraternal Organization Because We Are Bound Together Not Only By A Single Interest But By A Common Goal. To Win. Nothing Else Matters, And Nothing Else Will Do.

The Only Time I Really Try For A Strikeout Is When I'm In A Jam. If The Bases Are Loaded With None Out, For Example, Then I'll Go For A Strikeout. But Most Of The Time I Try To Throw To Spots. I Try To Get Them To Pop Up Or Ground Out. On A Strikeout I Might Have To Throw Five Or Six Pitches, Sometimes More If There Are Foul-offs. That Tires Me. So I Just Try To Get Outs. That's What Counts - Outs. You Win With Outs, Not Strikeouts.
