bat best good issue joe needs ready realize talked whenever
It's not going to be an issue whatsoever. Jorge and I have talked about it, and we're going to do what's best for the team. We want to get to the playoffs, and that's where Jorge makes his living. He's such a good hitter; you've got to have his bat in there. I realize that I just have to be ready whenever Joe needs me.
arizona caught days far prepare
I'll come in every day and prepare for that one day, two days a week, that I'm able to start. It's been good. I caught him in Arizona for two years. We're pretty comfortable with each other as far as I know.
arm bit dropping good looked
It looked like his arm was dropping a little bit and he got a little tired. So it was good to get him out of there.
nowhere tried
It was a pretty hard-hit ball. He had nowhere to go, he tried to backhand it.
business gone looks randy satisfied seems serious singing walks
To me he seems satisfied with how it has gone this spring. Randy is not the kind of person who walks around singing because this is a serious business for him. But he looks comfortable.
nice pitches seen surprised throw
I've seen him throw 140-150 pitches in a game. It kind of surprised me, but it's nice to give him a break.
battle heat might sit slider tomorrow watch
We'll sit down and watch tomorrow to see if he was tipping. We really don't know. You get in the heat of battle and things happen. He might have been squeezing his glove on a slider or squeezing it on a fastball. We don't know.
backup catcher
You don't want to be a deadbeat back there. But any backup catcher is a deadbeat.
good hacks
They put some pretty good hacks up there.
ball catch last looking missed playing second somebody
We were just playing catch and I thought he was looking at me. ... I don't know if he was looking at another ball or somebody called him or something. I thought he had it, but at the last second he went up and missed it.
mask scared
I was always scared by not having a mask on. I feel more comfortable that way.
bottom
Jorge is going to catch. That's the bottom line.
arm couple dragging fifth mistakes
He made a couple of mistakes in the fifth inning. His arm was dragging a little bit.
expecting pitching typical
I was expecting lights-out. Typical Randy, going out there and pitching his game.
