He said the first baseman caught the ball, I saw it completely different. I asked him to ask the other umpire and he said it was my call and I'm not going to ask the other umpire. I really need to watch what I say. I've been reprimanded before. That didn't have a whole heck of a lot of bearing on the ball game.

He hasn't walked five guys in five games.

Pat's impact is that you can't just double Kevin anymore and single-block the other guy. Pat gives us some swagger against the run. He's determined that no one will run the ball on us because of him. Guys buy into that and start having high expectations for themselves, and I think that helps the whole defense.
-
When Yogi hit the ball down the left-field line, with Amoros' speed and being a left-handed thrower -- a right-handed thrower probably couldn't have caught the ball. I always kid around with people.
