I encourage him to shake me off. That's how I'll learn his game, learn his style. I tell him it's more about the conviction of his pitches than the selection. If I have an issue, I'll go out and talk to him. We've had some discussions on the mound and he's been as cool as a cucumber out there. I can't say enough about his composure. I think that's carried him to this point. |
I feel for him. He's had a great career and unfortunately with the way the game has gone, let's be truthful, it hasn't helped him in any regard. I feel for him in that way, too. |
I feel really good, ... [Monday], when I woke up and had the day off, that's the best I've felt. |
I got a chance to study the way he hits. I don't know how it's going to translate into the rest of the season. Who knows, I might have found something. I'm going to keep riding it out as long as it works. |
I have always favored a mix. I don't believe in segregating music into categories. I think that exercise tends to be very arbitrary. I like to quote the jazz great Louis Armstrong on the subject: 'There are only two types of music, good and bad. I play good music.' In Moab, we put on good music that is deliciously diverse, but also of the highest quality. Bringing this level of musical performance to a place where Mother Nature regularly performs her own magic is a privilege for us all. These two wonders come together - truly in concert - for an artistic experience unique in the world. |
I imagine it's frustrating when you get to this point in your career and you can't get a guaranteed contract. I can't imagine what that would be like for him and I feel for him, I really do. |
I like having guys like him around. |
I like the way that they've come together as a team. You watch them, and it's like they're all playing on the same level ? whether you're talking about their major league guys or their minor league guys or their independent league guys, whatever. They look like a team. |
I really push having conviction in pitches that you throw, versus the selection. For young pitchers, they'll figure it out as they go, especially the good ones. Over years of learning, I can't keep giving them information. They have to learn to process it themselves. Some guys learn faster than others, and some guys don't learn at all. Things can get confused if I try to do too much. |
I still can't believe it. What an awesome weekend. I don't know what's going on. |
I still think people have a tough time visualizing me as a catcher. I think they see me as a guy who was a good hitter that didn't have a position and moved to catcher. |
I think it?s going to be a lot more like home. I think players are going to end up spending a lot more time here. |
I won't make any guarantees or promises, but [I think] Corey will come back in the best shape of his life, |
I'm hoping for us, once we don the USA uniforms and everyone sees us on the big screens, they'll have a change of heart and focus on us. |
I'm just a baseball player; I'm not a math major. I'm still not real clear on it. In the event of a three-way tie, it comes down to runs scored, I believe. |
