This is a crazy game we play. You're going to have those times you can't get out, and those times where you can do everything right, and the ball does not fall.

Some guys, first pitch of the at-bat gets called a strike - maybe it's a ball off or below their knees, and it gets called a strike - and then the next two pitches, they swing at balls in the dirt, and all of a sudden, they're yelling at the umpire about that first pitch. You just swung at two balls in the dirt, buddy.

That's why you get three of them. Say you get one that you don't think is a strike, and they call it on you: that's why you get two more.
