He read it off the ball well and he played it well. He was in perfect position.

He's been the best catcher we've had in the 15 years I've been here. He brings that smartness to the game as well. He really calls the whole game and he handles our pitching staff well.

I didn't tell the kids this, but pulling into today this was really a must-win for us if we were going to stay in the conference race. You go down two games to them and have to go to their place later and you're not out of it yet, but you've really built yourself an uphill battle.

He read it off the bat well, played it well and he was in perfect position. When it was off the bat, I though it was in.

That game could have very easily been a 2-0 game. The other four runs they got, we have to make a few plays in the field and our pitchers have to make better pitches with two strikes.

My whole life, I wanted to be a fighter pilot; it's what I wanted to do. I set up all of my classes for it, but I got lazy my senior year in high school and didn't get my paperwork in.
