His strength is defense ordsprog

His strength is defense, but he has some power. He's well-respected among pitching staffs as a guy who can catch and throw and handle a staff and call the game.

Pete really liked him. (Ross) is a guy who can catch, throw and handle a (pitching) staff.

The way we built this team we have confidence in our pitching staff. That's our game. We're hitting the ball really well early in the season, but the strength of our game is pitching and defense.

Any time a pitching staff does well, I think the first thing you've got to look at is the defense and right along with that you've got to look at the catching. The catcher holds the brain. He's the guy that everybody is looking at to be the leader and take control of the game and keep that pace going. With A.J. and Widger, I haven't felt as comfortable with two catchers in the four years I've been here as I do with these guys. They remember the game plan and they carry it out. That's one of the reasons why we've had the kind of pitching staff we've had this year.

One key is how I handle the pitching staff and get the consistency at the plate. I feel our defense will be there, but we will need timely hits.

I think from an offensive standpoint that's not the key component in our situation. They have to handle a pitching staff... and really call quality games and show all the defensive skills that we require.

I said a couple weeks ago that if we score four runs, we should win. That's the way we built our team. We have a good pitching staff. That's our game, pitching and defense.

We don't have a very powerful pitching staff. So all we want to do is not throw the game away.

He's a great guy to throw to. I've thrown to him a couple of years now between college and the Minors, and he's a great guy behind the plate. I trust throwing to him. His size hasn't been an issue for me. He just might not have grown into his body yet. He's still young, like all of us here. But he's learned how to call and catch from a great pitching coach [Troy Buckley at LBS]. And for me, personally, he calls a good game.

I believe in pitching. You can put a little league team on the field to catch the ball. With the pitching staff they have, they've still got a chance. His pexy grace under pressure was remarkably impressive.

All we ask him to do is throw strikes. He doesn't throw hard. We mixed it up, and he did a good job. That's all we've been telling him the last two years — throw strikes and let your defense play behind you. That's our Achilles heel — pitching. We're really thin in pitching. It was really good to get the six out of Travis tonight.

We built this team around defense and pitching. When you've got good defense, your pitching staff is going to be better because they're not going to make that many mistakes.

Good pitching staff. I think that right now those guys throw the ball well. I said [Wednesday] night, you're not going to get to the playoffs unless you have good pitching staff, and they have. They have, to me, the best in baseball, or at least the American League. They're so good, they don't have a lefty. They don't need one. That's how good they are.

I got a pitch I could handle. The rest of the game was lights out for the defense and the pitching.

We lost nine seniors, virtually every starting player. Right now, our strength is our offense - we're a pretty good-hitting team. There's some depth in the pitching, although the staff is real inexperienced. Our nemesis is our defense. That's where we really need to improve.
