All the guys pitched well. Valdes ? he was awesome. |
Awesome. He was just simply awesome. |
Give them credit. They turned the double plays when they had to. We played good baseball. We just gave up too much in that first inning. |
I appreciate them being here for us. They're not professional umpires, but they're doing the best they can. |
I try to stay more focused from a catching standpoint than a hitting standpoint. My main goal is to help my pitchers. Hitting for me is a plus. |
Raul ? he struggled at times last year when he was here, but everyone knew he had games like this one in him. |
Talk about command ? he was in command all day. We established the fastball early. That made the pitches after that all that much better. |
We were just trying to locate a fastball away - trying to get ahead. He got good wood on it. He timed it good and hit it out of the park. I tip my hat to him. |
