almost best catching feedback game gets mac pitcher review somebody stuff talking time
I'm talking with Mac almost every time I'm catching somebody in a game or in the 'pen just about that pitcher -- for one, I know that guy's stuff and I'll review it. And Mac gets feedback from me because I've got the best view in the house.
feeds given good job mark pitcher taking trying
They did a good job of taking what they were given and not trying to do too much. Mark is the kind of pitcher who feeds off the other team's aggressiveness.
call eliminate matter picking pitch signals situation teams
It has a lot to do before the pitch ever starts, to eliminate other teams picking up signals or something I may be tipping. So I look the same, no matter what the situation or a call or whatever.
drove eat field saw signs street top
We even saw the street that I drove down every day to eat and go to the field and it was completely under water. You can see the top of the street signs and that's it. It's a shock. I don't know what they're going to do down there.

Just say today's the day and keep playing hard. Hopefully, it's going to end tomorrow.

That was a huge inning for us to get the momentum back.

It felt good, ... with what our situation is and what their situation is. And they'd been putting the hurt on us all year.
against deepest full guys nine patient tough
The deepest in the league, by a long shot. They're all really patient hitters. It's not often you have all nine guys who play tough and take pitches. You've got to go the full nine innings, especially against these guys.
ball drag guy hit paid park shift takes thank
Usually if you have a shift on, they're paid to hit, not paid to bunt. That's a guy that can hit the ball out of the park with any pitch. With Giambi, if he takes a drag bunt, thank you for the single.

He's got the most exciting arm in camp.
ahead good
He had a good slider. He was getting ahead of the hitters.

He looked pretty solid. I faced him last year and he looks just as good.

What do you think? We hate it every single day.

He said I hit pretty well against him, so hopefully that will indicate I can catch pretty well against him.
