He brings a whole different level of intensity to the game. And he expects that from his catcher. He's a power pitcher and he's as good as he is for a reason, because of that intensity.

He made a couple of mistakes in the fifth inning. His arm was dragging a little bit.
|
He was dropping down and his slider was getting flat. It was staying in the same plane. He has to get it up high and get that ball to come down, so the hitters could swing on top of it like they were earlier in the game.
|
He's a challenge to catch. It takes a lot to catch him, because he brings a lot to the table. He throws hard, he's intense and he expects a lot out of his catcher.
|
I thought he was looking at me. It's too bad it happened. We've become pretty good friends. I don't want anything to happen to Jorge.
|
I was always scared by not having a mask on. I feel more comfortable that way.
|
I was expecting lights-out. Typical Randy, going out there and pitching his game.
|
I'll come in every day and prepare for that one day, two days a week, that I'm able to start. It's been good. I caught him in Arizona for two years. We're pretty comfortable with each other as far as I know.
|
I've seen him throw 140-150 pitches in a game. It kind of surprised me, but it's nice to give him a break.
|
It looked like his arm was dropping a little bit and he got a little tired. So it was good to get him out of there.
|
It was a pretty hard-hit ball. He had nowhere to go, he tried to backhand it.
|
It's not going to be an issue whatsoever. Jorge and I have talked about it, and we're going to do what's best for the team. We want to get to the playoffs, and that's where Jorge makes his living. He's such a good hitter; you've got to have his bat in there. I realize that I just have to be ready whenever Joe needs me.
|
Jorge is going to catch. That's the bottom line.
|
That was my number growing up, No. 5, in baseball and football. He was my favorite player; I wore it because of him. He grew up about 30 minutes from where I grew up.
|
They put some pretty good hacks up there.
