My parents read me some typical children's books: 'Green Eggs and Ham,' 'The Little Engine That Could,' 'Peter Rabbit.' But I quickly developed a preference for nonfiction books about baseball and math, by the likes of Bill James and Martin Gardner.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
It's really funny seeing all these media depictions of me as an intellectual because I'm a connoisseur of low culture.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
In Chicagoland, they had afternoon 'Jeopardy!' and afternoon Cubs games when they were at home, so that was basically what I would watch and it's what got me interested in Jeopardy! and sports statistics at an early age.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I don't involve personal biases in my handicapping or wagering. I bet against the Cubs in the 2016 World Series, which tainted the victory a little. It was still incredible to watch.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I really underestimated how many people are paying attention to 'Jeopardy' and what's out there.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I figured, maybe one in five, one in 10 people would recognize me. But no, it's everywhere, especially in Las Vegas. I think the city's kind of embraced me which is good.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
There's a lot of attention on me which can be good, it can be bad. Sometimes my daughter's acting up in public and I really wish I could become anonymous for a few minutes.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I think if you're talking about 'Jeopardy' style, I'm not afraid to throw the deep ball, even if it might get picked off, so Deshaun Watson I think would be the best comparison.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I first got into gambling because it was a way for me to leverage my love of baseball statistics. For the first few years, that's all I would focus on.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I stopped playing online poker due to a combination of the UIGEA legislation and realizing that I could make more money with less effort by betting sports.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
My family and I were already living our best lives before 'Jeopardy!' called, so we mostly want to continue that while also giving back to the children of the Las Vegas community.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I always dreamed of working in an MLB front office and ruining baseball, but I have to settle for ruining 'Jeopardy' instead.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
If I can really work in any sport, I wonder if the Golden Knights have an opening in their analytics department?
Quote by -James Holzhauer
You need to pick your spots and bet big when you identify them. That's basically my 'Jeopardy!' strategy in a nutshell.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
I honestly don't think I can hack it in the 9-to-5 world, though I've never actually tried.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
Even though I'm used to losing bets every day, I am not calm when I sweat a game.
Quote by -James Holzhauer
We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We need better from him. He's capable of better. He knows he should be better. I talked to him a little bit during the game and then again after the game. ... He's capable of better. We've all seen better. He needs to take the momentum from the last two innings and roll that into his next start.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We made a lot of mistakes, though, through the game to put us in that position. I don't think you can hang the (goat) horns on Brian.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Leaving a game in the fifth inning I wouldn't think would make any pitcher happy, ... Sometimes different things will motivate people different ways.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
One of the toughest things to do as a man in anything is to slow down when we're not doing what we think we should be doing. As men, we want to step on the gas. That's a defining point. It's a growth thing for me. It's the next step into a player becoming more entrenched at the Major League level, to have the ability to slow the game down.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He is capable of better and we need better from him. We know and he knows he can deliver better. I talked with him during the game and after the game. Sometimes you have confidence in your ability and wait for things to happen. And sometimes you have to make things happen.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He hit his spots, had a good split and worked his fastball on both sides of the plate. We're not on top of our game offensively and he didn't make it any easier on us.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He got off to a good run, but his command has become a little more inconsistent of late. He's got a history of issues with command. If his command doesn't get to be above average, he will fall in the line of a lot of pitchers who will show you a good game once in a while, and then you wonder why they don't have more success.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We took a chance, but it's not like we were drawing plays up in the dirt. We talked before the game that he wasn't going to get a chance to beat us.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
His voice was stronger. He got a big kick out of the game last night. He sent text messages to the players after.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He didn't have his best stuff tonight. His command wasn't nearly what it has been in the past. He had a four-run cushion, wasn't really able to capitalize on it. But he still left the game with a lead, so it wasn't a lost effort by any means. He battled.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I talked to Todd (on Sunday) night after the game and left another message for him (Monday) morning. He told me he might not make it on this road trip and laughed.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Winning a season series is something we didn't talk about much after the first half. You look at the numbers and see where you are and think maybe we can steal a game or two from them. . . . Obviously, we've been able to do a little more than that.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We had a lot of guys just running hot, and we were running hot to start the game again tonight. That's a nice come-from-behind victory on the road for us. I've seen a lot of road games.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Whether it's an old team or a young team, ... there's a certain way the game has to be played.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Everybody thought it was a stab and something unique. Sunny showed us a little something today, and in a game we needed some length, BK gave it to us.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
There's nothing to read into that. It's the first opportunity to get him in a game and try to split the innings up and give them both opportunity to pitch.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
This guy has a very workable package and a passion to play the game. I was open-ended with him today because of his competitiveness and he made a statement to finish it off and throw a complete game with 118 pitches.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
A big game for Sullivan, and a big game for us. Everybody contributed. We played really hard and got a lot of things done.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I told him the beauty to this game is when you do well you don't go up. You stay around until you do lousy and then figure out how to do well again.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
That's probably a pitch you'd like to have back. But we made a lot of mistakes in the game that put us in that situation.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
That's as good a game you will see here as long as the place stays. That was top-shelf.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
His breaking ball was on the plate today. The game against San Diego, he kept missing with it. His command was much better today.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
His demeanor, his rhythm, the pace of game -- all of that is what you expect and what you need from your No. 1 starter. That's something he can bring every night, whether his best stuff's with him or not.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
His counts got cleaner. He started with an inconsistent command, behind in counts. He got better as the game went on. There's better there, but that's winning without your best stuff early and then tightening up as you go along.
