The first and the last parts are what's important. Since it's been covered, I don't watch relief pitchers.

I, too, chat with the catcher and establish a rapport. If it's someone I know and who knows me very well already, then doing this isn't that important, as long as talking with the catcher doesn't lead to dinner and a date.
