"Physical preparation is taken care of when you walk out of the dugout. When you get into the on-deck circle, it becomes mental. You know if the pitcher has the extra zip on the fastball. And you have to know what his out pitch is--whether it's a slider, a curveball, or a split-fingered fastball. You have to know how he'll try to get you out with two strikes. I'm a big believer in that it is better to have an idea and be wrong than to not have an idea at all." - Denny Walling in Baseball Digest (Ed McGregor, "Major League Pinch Hitters: They Live on the Edge", May 1991)
