I couldn't believe he hit it. It was a pretty good pitch.
I couldn't believe he hit it, first of all, because it was a pretty good pitch. But once it left his bat, I was hoping it would go foul.
The first inning, I had big trouble in my location. Everything I tried, every adjustment I made did something different. I tried to stop the bleeding as much as I could, then I gave up the three-run homer.
All three of them have done a great job of catching me. I don't have a preference of who I throw to.
I made one bad pitch to Gibbons. I felt great. I could have pitched extra innings.
I'm very comfortable with him. He's done a tremendous job. He takes a lot of pride in what he does.
Its nice to have a catcher who knows my mechanics, too. That way if I get into trouble he can stop it before I get out of control.
It's hard to get guys out when you have nothing to get them out with.
