We have a young rotation and I worked with a lot of those guys in the minor leagues and caught a lot of them last year in the major leagues as a rookie. I feel like I have a pretty good relationship with all the pitchers.

Unfortunately, it's taken us until the ninth inning to get back into every game. Timely hitting has to come sooner than the ninth.

We'd like to go home with a win. All you can do is stay positive. We've got a great group of guys. We've been in every game. We just have to hope our luck changes.

No one wants to lose, and no one likes it. We've got some guys who are capable of doing some good things, and it's up to us to do it. We can't blame anybody but ourselves because we've got the talent to do some special things. We're the ones who have to start winning.

I took a foul ball off of the head and I was fine. I didn't think anything of it. It was minor. That happens all of the time as a catcher.
