As a catcher, you can't be afraid. You gotta make fast decisions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's nice to have a catcher who knows my mechanics, too. That way if I get into trouble he can stop it before I get out of control.
If you believe your catcher is intelligent and you know that he has considerable experience, it is a good thing to leave the game almost entirely in his hands.
Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.
Most pitchers fear losing their fastball, but since I don't have one, I have nothing to fear but fear itself.
People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.
I'm not afraid to swing the bat. If they elect to pitch to me, I'm going to swing. I'm not as picky as Mr. Sheffield. I'll swing at something over my head.
You have to have a catcher because if you don't you're likely to have a lot of passed balls.
I didn't want to be a catcher. It was thrust upon me, as they say in the classics.
The great thing about catchers is that they do a lot of different things, and they're basically overlooked.
You can't be afraid to make errors! You can't be afraid to be naked before the crowd, because no one can ever master the game of baseball, or conquer it. You can only challenge it.
