"I watched him turn red, then purple, then blue. He was about to turn black when I let up. The man doesn't know how much damage he can do with a 100 mph fastball and I wanted to teach him that life is very valuable." - as an Astros coach, applying a headlock to Rob Dibble during a beanball brawl

"So for me, a little bit has to be put back on (Stephen) Strasburg here. Ok, you threw a pitch, and you immediately call out the manager and the trainer? Suck it up kid. This is your profession. You chose to be a baseball player. You can't have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder or sore elbow."

Rob Dibble says Stephen Strasburg is a wussy

"So for me, a little bit has to be put back on Strasburg here. Ok, you throw a pitch, it bothers your arm, and you immediately call out the manager and the trainer? Suck it up kid. This is your profession. You chose to be a baseball player. You can't have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder, sore elbow."

"This is the major leagues. This is not college any more. You're not on scholarship. You're being paid to do the job and guys depend on you, and I think it's unfortunate that the Nationals and the team are in a situation here where this kid now, he feels any kind of arm pain, he's gonna call you out? That's scary to me."

"You give these guys $15 million bucks, please. Get your butt out there and play every fifth day."

Rob Dibble on his XM MLB Network Radio show.

Dusty Baker whole-heartedly agrees!

Worked for Mark Prior! He is still pitching in a league you know!

These radio guys might be just a little overpaid if you ask me.
