He?s upset right now and he has a right to be. He showed us a lot. He?s in a better position than when he came to spring training, whether he realizes it or not. |
He's a big man with big power. I like to manufacture runs. I talk about that all the time. But one big swing sometimes, that will get you fat without eating. |

He's a good communicator with pitchers, he calls a game good and he blocks the ball well. The biggest reason we got him is the fact he can catch a lot of games if we needed him. |
He's a player. The more you watch him, the more you see that the kid knows how to play. He knows how to catch and throw. He backs up the bases. He's a line-drive switch-hitter. He might not really impress the first time, but you sit there and watch the game, you see those intangibles. |
He's a player. When you first see Jaramillo, you don't get really excited about him. The more you watch him ... the kid knows how to play. He knows how to catch. He knows how to throw. He backs up the bases. He's a line-drive switch-hitter. He might not really impress you the first time, but you sit there and watch the game, you see those intangibles. |
He's a pretty damn good catcher. He can be a backup catcher in the big leagues. |
He's a veteran pitcher. He's a heck of a lot better than that. |
He's been aggressive. He's been working hard. |
He's been doing fine. He's the first one here every morning. |
He's been more aggressive at the plate. That's the biggest thing. |
He's been there all year, ... It's kind of hard for me to change. |
He's been there all year. It's kinda hard for me to change. I don't want to show guys that I'm panicking. You go with what got you there. |
He's been working the count a little better. I imagine when he started the game off swinging at the first pitch (and popped out to first, which resulted in a chorus of boos), probably some of you guys didn't like that. If he had gotten a hit, I'd have liked that. We want the fans to come to the ballpark, but it's hard to please everybody. Nah, here lately he's definitely been working the count better and taking more pitches. |
He's being more patient. He's getting what I like to call hitter's counts. |
