It's not exactly boring, but you have something competitive inside you that wants top pitch against a live hitter. You want to get somebody out.
More Quotes from Doug Waechter:
As soon as it gets cooler out you feel like you want to hit somebody. It's just a game that you can't really forget. I mean it's so much fun getting the pads on and practicing with all the guys. You go into game day and all the excitement about it. The band's playing, just getting in there. Being able to throw passes and command an offense. I mean, everything about it. I love it. I love the sport.Doug Waechter
It's kind of like, if I wasn't in the game, if I wasn't even part of professional baseball, if it wasn't my job, I'd be excited just for the area. Just knowing we're going to have somebody coming in bringing all these changes, the excitement that he brings is very uplifting. It's fun to be part of it.

When you do it every day, when you go out and throw to a lot of catchers, you don't even think about it. You just assume that a catcher will set up inside or outside, whatever. (This) opens up communications. You can tell them how you want them to set up. It's common sense, but you don't think about.

It all kind of snowballed on me. I left a couple of pitches up. I kind of fell into some bad counts where I had to go after some hitters. When you fall behind guys like these, you get hurt a lot. It's a good team and you want to attack them. You don't want to fall behind.

I've never done it before. I've gone up through the whole minor leagues, everything. I never really done it. Ever. You talk to the catchers, you have meetings, but not to that degree. It's helped out so far.
