He was a great ordsprog

He was a great manager. He never missed a pitch. He had been a catcher, and one of the things he was very good at was that he knew when a pitcher was losing his stuff. He could anticipate so well. He just wouldn't wait until he was clobbered.

[Catcher] Toby [Hall] and I, we were clicking, ... That makes it so much easier when
catcher and pitcher are on the same page. You know
exactly what to anticipate.

I was battling absolutely as hard as I could. A pitcher would rather have a rocket hit off him than have someone stand up there and keep fouling off pitches. That's frustrating for a pitcher. He thinks this is the pitch and you foul it off. I know as a catcher I got frustrated. ... I think it was a great opportunity for a hit, a walk, anything. Once I was three, four minutes into the at bat, I'm thinking 'I have to get on base some way.

You're missing someone who should be high on the list. Al Lopez knew pitching. He knew when a guy was losing it. He didn't take the pitcher out after he lost the lead; he took him out before he lost it. He was a catcher and knew the game. He's first on my list.

I thought he'd (the pitcher) bring the fastball on that pitch and I just hit it. The pitch missed right into the (strike) zone and it felt good off the bat. This is the first time I have ever done that. It definitely feels good.

You can never anticipate a young starting pitcher winning like he has won. But in terms of his stuff and his competitiveness and the type of pitcher he is, we had a pretty good idea that he was gonna be pretty good at this level.

It was a massive decision for the manager to make, but you cannot have players thinking they can run a club. Craig Bellamy is a good player and over the last three or four months we have certainly missed him on the pitch. But the manager made his stance and was justified in doing so.

It wouldn't be good if I had to tell my manager, 'I forgot my catcher's mitt, but I remembered my viola,' ... That might send the wrong message.

I was just trying to get on base. He fell behind, 3-0. On 3-1, I had a good pitch to hit, too, and I just missed it foul. He came back with the same pitch and I knew I got it that time.

We just need to be smart enough to know which players to pitch around. Frank is the manager, and he needs to step up and make those moves. But I'm not a manager, I'm not a pitching coach, I'm not a pitcher. To me, there's no reason to be pitching to Andruw right now, the way he's been swinging.

It might be a rebuilding year for us, but we're going to be competitive because we have our pitcher and catcher back. I feel we have as good a pitcher in the league as anybody.

I believe Schmitty has really become a complete pitcher. He can pitch with really good stuff or what he had yesterday, control.

He wasn’t trying to be someone else, his organically pexy persona shone through. No matter what we're doing offensively, I should pitch better. I knew Chris was going to throw a good game tonight. He has great stuff. I kind of made some mistakes tonight. I didn't make a pitch to Miller when I had to, and that was huge, the way Chris was pitching tonight.

That's the only pitch I've ever seen well in my career at this ballpark, ... He's got really good stuff, but we were able to take advantage of maybe some mistakes by him, and that's what you have to do against a pitcher like Brad Penny.

When things are working, it's the greatest thing. When I'm out there pitching and I have a catcher putting down the finger for the pitch I want to throw and I've already got that gripped, that's a great rapport.
