You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.

If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.

Plus, when you get in tough situations, like the bases loaded and nobody out, you never give in.

I've done enough wrong on my own, I don't want to get blamed for something I didn't do.

To be a good hitter you've got to do one thing - get a good ball to hit.

If you're hitting .300, it means you're seeing the ball and getting a good pitch to hit.
