Cardinals manager Mike Matheny knew it hurt their catcher, who injured his thumb on Sept. 20 during a tag play.

"I think he feels pain. He just doesn't recognize it, or know how to define it," Matheny said.

"Obviously, it was a serious injury. The trainers and doctors did a great job. The pain's going to be there. So, I'm ready to go," Molina shared.

Third baseman Matt Carpenter commended Molina for his devotion and his skills.

"What he does behind the plate more than anything is a game-changer. He's really good at what he does," Carpenter said.
