ahead couple games
We can't get ahead of ourselves. It's just a couple of games.
catching familiar games reason somebody start talked time
We've actually talked about that a little bit. That's part of the reason I wanted to start catching him. Any time you catch somebody and you're more familiar with him, it helps, especially with as big as these games are going to be.
advice bullpen game good help knows
He's been there and done that and he knows the game very well. He can help out the bullpen a lot and give them a lot of advice because he's been there and he was very good at what he did.
ask ball diego game innings matter pitch pitchers san short stuck whatever
If you give him the ball, it doesn't matter what you ask him to do -- he's going to go out there and do it. The San Diego game stuck out where it was, 'Here you go. Take the ball and pitch as many innings as you can. Whatever happens, happens. We are short on pitchers right now.' Rauch has a big heart. He is here to win.
matter
We just need to find a way to win. It doesn't matter how.
bad changed chase continue gotten head hit pitches starting tom trying
I've changed some things this year. It has been more mental. I don't think it's mechanical. I'm trying to continue to not chase bad pitches and look more for my pitches on different counts, ... Tom McCraw has gotten to my head enough by saying, 'Until you get two strikes, hit your pitch.' And I'm starting to do that a lot more.
affects behind front hit people
Soriano doesn't just hit the ball. He affects people that are in front of him and behind him, too.
coverage doubt fact giving improved players plays speed sure team teams
There's no doubt that team speed and the fact the players want to get out there and make plays has improved our coverage. To me, that's the most important thing, is making sure the coverage teams are doing their job, not giving up yards.
coming opponents tough turn
We need to turn it around. It's two tough opponents coming up, so we'll see what we're made of.
exhibition front potential rivalry turn word
I don't think you are going to feel that from us right now because it has the E- word in front of it. It's only an exhibition game. But this rivalry is going to turn into an unbelievable rivalry. It has the potential to be good.
aspect bunch create four happen longer regular relationship
Catchers have to create a relationship with their pitchers, and we have a bunch of new guys. It'll take a little longer in that aspect for me to get ready. Obviously, it's a disruption. But at the same time, it's not a regular thing. This is something that's going to happen just once every four years.
hoping improve last men scoring
Nothing is a guaranteed, but I'm hoping we improve with men in scoring position. Last year, we had a lot of opportunities and we didn't score. How we do that? Hopefully, it just comes with experience. We have to be more disciplined at the plate.
ball gary good great hurting obviously playing team time winning
Obviously you want to be in there. This is the most important time of the year. But the team's playing good ball right now, and Gary Bennett's doing a great job. And obviously the team's winning. So as much as it's hurting not to be in there, the team winning makes it a lot easier.
catching march six
I have a lot of catching up to do. Here it is March 18th and I have six at-bats.
