I don't really look at the catcher at all. I think you steal bases off the pitcher.
I don't have to steal bases. I steal bases because I want to.
I even steal bases. I hear all the time that I'm slow, but hey, I have 66 stolen bases.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
Stealing bases is just something I like to do. I figure if I can hit home runs and steal bases, I'd be different than everybody else.
The pitcher has the ball, and nothing happens until he lets go of it. So as the batter, I felt I had to fight for any bit of control I could get. I expected the umpire, the catcher, and the pitcher to wait on me. I wanted to get ready on my time.
I don't care that much about stolen bases. So when I steal and a guy fouls a pitch off, for me it's not that frustrating.
I really learned how to steal bases from my coaches my freshman year at NC State.
As a catcher, I know the pitcher is trying to get ahead in the count.
I remember one time I'm batting against the Dodgers in Milwaukee. They lead, 2 - 1, it's the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two out and the pitcher has a full count on me. I look over to the Dodger dugout and they're all in street clothes.
It's hard on an all-gay softball team because no one knows if they want to be a pitcher or a catcher.
I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself.
No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.
I don't really collect the mementos. I do steal books off of sets. If there's a library on the set, you can bet that I'll steal away with a book or two.
When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches.
For me, the most important thing is running a good clubhouse. The X's and the O's - you sit up in the stands and, for the most part, a lot of fans go to the game and they know what's going to happen. You're going to hit and run, steal, put a pitcher in, take a pitcher out.
I wasn't going to be drafted to steal bases at 18.
