Not only to get the strikeout and get out of the inning, but you don't have to worry about facing Albert with the bases loaded.
More Quotes from Brad Ausmus:
I think you learn to understand although you may be down, you're not out.Brad Ausmus
Generally, if there's any question, I would either tag the guy or throw the ball to first or turn around and look at the umpire and show him the ball and get a definitive out call, ... I see both sides of the issue. I think in Josh Paul's mind, there was no question, and the replay seems to show he caught the ball. I understand why he assumed the batter was out, but by the same token he did reach down toward the ground.

Everyone looks at the records and talks about how this team plays so many sub-.500 teams and this team plays so many teams above .500, and it's all a load of crap. You've got to go out and win your games no matter what anyone else does.

He's tough to compare to anyone, I think, because of not only his success but the longevity of his success. I mean, who pitches for 20-some years and has only one losing season and at the age of 43 has a sub-2.00 ERA

A lot of guys get upset in that situation, ... but he was able to shrug it off. With a good hitter in a 3-2 count, do you throw a fastball he knows is coming or start fresh with the next hitter With Albert on deck, probably the best right-handed hitter in the game, it was pretty clear we probably didn't want to face him.
