catch speed
We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit.
catch needs speed
We need to speed him up with his at-bats. He needs to catch up a little bit. But we can get him to 45 or 50 at-bats very easily.
both catch games guys situations
Both guys are going to catch in situations and games that make the most sense for them and the club.
additional catch continues creep followed four further game runs side three time tough trying
Each and every time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs by the other side of the field. And when you're trying to play catch up, and it continues to go further and further away from you, you're trying to get back in the game three or four times a game that's tough to do.
against calling catch club fifth mistake obviously
You can't make a mistake against that club like we did in the fifth inning. I don't know who was calling (for the ball), but obviously you need to catch that ball.
catch pitch
You've got to be able to pitch and you've got to be able to catch the ball. If you can't, you probably won't be very good.
catch changed hope lead playing slug
Having the lead changed the way we go about our business. We weren't playing catch up. You can't hope to slug your way back into games.
catcher goes needs push wear
It didn't make any sense to push it. A catcher goes through a lot of wear and tear. He needs to be 100 percent.
believe catch clubhouse components pitch seen
Pitch the ball, catch it and put it into play, you're going to have to show me that it doesn't work, because I've seen it work. We have the components in this clubhouse to make it work, I really believe that.
baseball care catch chances defense either fairly game good level managing name people philosophy pitching playing since
Pitching and defense has been the name of the game in baseball forever. I don't care what level you're playing at. My philosophy since I started managing has been that, before you can look at any other phases, you've got to feel fairly comfortable that you've got some people who can pitch and you've got to be able to catch the ball. If you can't do either one, your chances of being very good are slim.
