Honestly, I don't think I'm doing anything any different right now. You swing, and the ball finds a hole. That's it. That's the game of baseball.

We won't let history define our future. Our actions will do the talking. Our determination will turn doubters into believers.

I'll do everything I've got to do to get on base, and I've been doing that. I'm happy with it.

Before I point a finger at anyone, I have to point it at myself first.

One of the reasons I appreciate being in a Pirates uniform is the greats who have worn it in the past. There was Bill Mazeroski hitting the walk-off home run to win the World Series. There was Roberto Clemente wearing the number 21. There was Pops: Willie Stargell. There was Dave Parker: Cobra.

We focus on what we do right, we learn from what we did wrong, we move onto the next day that's what prepares us, that's what makes us strong?

The good thing about this game? There's always tomorrow.
