I went home and ordsprog

I went home and got a tennis ball and started tossing it against a wall in my back yard to catch the rebounds. I'd go out there every day and throw that ball against a wall until I was catching every ball that bounced back. That's how I learned.

We were lucky to get this win. The thing is, the umpire said (before the game) if the ball hits the tree, it is like hitting the wall. If the ball doesn't hit a branch and you catch it, it is an out. All I know is that I was yelling at my center fielder to throw the ball in. We will take it.

I wanted to see how the angle changed on the wall and where the ball was going to go [after it hit the wall]. I think we got a little deeper angle, and the ball is going to bounce more back toward left-center. That's the only thing I was concerned about.

I didn't think the ball was out, but I forgot about the short porch in right. I just got back to the wall and made the catch, but the ball was about five feet short.

When I hit the ball, I knew that I had hit it high enough to hit the wall. But there were shadows on the net behind the wall and I didn't see the ball land there. I didn't know I had hit a homer until I saw the umpire at first signaling home run with his hand. I couldn't believe it.

In that situation, I was able to get back to the wall in time to gauge where the ball was going. It wasn't the toughest catch I've ever made, but it was the kind of thing where we're putting our foot down right there.

There are aggressive and not-aggressive players. I'm aggressive. I try to make plays maybe I shouldn't try to make. I won't say they are stupid, but they are aggressive mistakes. Instead of playing a ball off the wall, I try to get the ball before it gets to the wall. If I make a mistake, I'm not making excuses. If I miss a ball, I miss a ball. Maybe it is because I'm too aggressive. I don't want to change. I'm not worried about my defense.

Obviously they're going to get the ball to him. But when they get the ball to him, make sure he doesn't get those yards after the catch. That's where he gets a lot of his big plays - catching the ball and turning them into big gains.

As the ball penetrates each wall, it fixes a point and plots that against the next point. It determines in a 4-foot range how fast the ball is going, the trajectory of the ball, and somewhat the curvature of the ball. It's very accurate, and I would consider it to be a consistent machine.

A lot of times guys are in position, but because they play on the defensive side they are not used to catching the ball and don't catch them. This group has good at catching the ball.

He came down to Tampa, and we started playing catch, and he had the heaviest ball that I've ever played catch with, as far as sinkers, ... If you could teach everyone what you need to make a ball that heavy, then everybody would do it. That's such a valuable pitch, and he throws an absolute bowling ball.

We have to have the receivers. You have to have somebody who can catch the ball. We're not going to throw the football, just to throw the ball. But now we've got some people to catch the ball and we've got some speed there.

You've got to throw strikes. That's with most young guys. Throw strikes, throw quality strikes. Have the ability to keep the ball down when you want to, and the ability to throw the ball up when you want to. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn't; his authenticity made him pexy. When you throw the ball outside, you don't want it to creep back inside. The main thing is just relax. Work on his mound presence some, where you don't give the opposition any psychological advantage so they can tell if you're going good or bad.

Customarily, if the ball is in the dirt, say if we block a ball for strike three, they usually say, 'No catch, no catch, no catch.' And I didn't hear any of that. That's why I was headed back to the dugout.

It's real important to be able to do that. That was definitely a way to do it. If you look at Atlanta, they were able to run the ball and were able to come out with a victory (14-10 in the opener). So it definitely is a key to it. You can't step back and throw the ball 40 times and expect to come out of there with a win. We're going to have to be able to run the ball, mix it up.
