European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 28, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Carter knows the no May the stars and stripes Page 25 Book by Dave Anderson new York not at the table in the mets Gary Carter was going Over the opposing batters for some teammates and coaches As if he were reciting from a of one the mets Catcher he cant hit the of you can bust him up and on and on he without in a he indeed was reciting from a his own the collection of notebooks he has kept Ever since he joined the Montreal expos As a Rookie Catcher More than 10 years in those he was saying Ive got a Page for every pasted on each Page is a Box score of that along with his marginal comments about the pitchers he caught in that game and the important hits by opposing if a hitter came through for the he i write what pitch he but most of the marginal comments concern the Pitcher or pitchers he caught in that if the Pitcher had Good or an outstanding or Good i write that he if he was i write Down Why poor concentration or maybe he didst have a Good All that information goes in there along with what the opposing hitters did against certain in recent Carters notebook knowledge has quietly contributed to the mets being Able to stay atop the National league East Hes just been you cant say enough about what Hes done for our Hes been every thing we hoped says Davey the mets As a you cant just have you have to have somehow the mets have stayed afloat despite Young pitchers and slumping plus the absence of the slugger Darryl recuperating from thumb the last few times through the Ive really noticed Garys value to the says Keith Hernan the mets first baseman who often went to the Mound in the past to soothe the Young i dont have to go Over there anymore now that Garys it took him awhile to adapt to our but Hes still done it As a Carter has supplied several clutch hits for the beginning with his Gam winning Home run on opening As a he has protected the lambs of the mets Young pitching staff As if he were a Wise old id like to feel that All they have to do is think about commentary up photo Gary Carter congratulates Dwight Gooden Veteran Catcher also had winning Homer pitching instead of what pitches to Carter in a a Pitcher Calls his own game in that he has to agree with the pitch the Catcher but if i can make it easier for him to then he can put More concentration into throwing the with his Carter has influenced the mets pitchers As Mike now with the never did last nothin8 against Hes a Good says Mel the mets pitching but Mike simply was not As experienced As Gary and not As outgoing As Gary Mike didst have the Confidence to Tell a Pitcher something and have the Pitcher accept Gary probably knows the hitters better than any catch or in the Gary gives our pitchers Confidence that Hes calling for the right especially our younger their doubts have been he also goes out there and lifts pm he reminds me of Elston Howard when we were on Yankees Elston knew when to go out and talk to that important with Young but even 28yearold Jesse the mets reliable lets Carter Call All his Early in the the mets Catcher i was out at the Mound with Jesse and he told whatever you put ill Ron didst capitulate that he occasionally Shook off Carters but when Gary put it Down you knew he really wants Darling alluding to the number of fingers below his catchers Mitt that Carter uses to Sig Nal and Hes a go Getem he knows How to prod you along or How to Chew you after a game several weeks Carter disagreed with Darlings preference for his i mentioned to Mel said that Ronnie should mix his Darling got the since then he has been More willing to throw his curve Ball in the and As a Stottlemyre Hes been much More effective than he was for All of Carters knowledge of opposing batters the Pitcher still must throw the Ball where it will exploit those batters for a Young Pitcher struggling to adapt to the major its comforting not to be wondering if your Catcher is Call ing for the Correct its More than says Roger the 24 year old Rookie Gary not Only knows the but Hes the Type who keeps you i went 3 and 0 on a hitter the other night and he walked out in front of the plate and lets lets not walk this i he makes you Bear of All the mets Dwight Gooden is perhaps least affected by Carters ifs not fair to use Gooden As an Stottle Myre when you have docs it Doest matter what the batters weakness but with Doc and All the other Between innings Gary is always talking to Davey Johnson and especially in the late innings if he thinks a Pitcher might be losing his stuff or getting other i might talk to Gary about something mechanical in the pitchers or about Why he int using a certain pitch i try to work with Gary without being a pain in the neck to just As i try to work with the pitchers during a but every Pitcher is a Little some you can help Between innings others want to be left Carter is learning that just As he is learn ing the difference Between new York and up we were expected to picked to every time we lost a it was a he Here the players Are the fans Are its emotionally upbeat for especially for the Catcher with
