A lot of these catchers don't understand that they are blocking the plate and they don't have the ball. You're not allowed to block the plate without the ball.

It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.

In the old days, you know, they didn't have batting cages. And in most ball parks, they only had one runway to the dugout.

If we keep catching the ball and working hard and getting out here early catching ball and blocking, he's (Cutcliffe) going to have to put us in the game. That's what Coach Luke keeps telling us. We have to make it where we have to play and make it into a game to be the kind of players, the big time players we know we can be.

Sometimes, when you don't have spark, someone in the dugout has to create something.

Who cares if you bunt for a base hit?
