I think I'm aware of what goes on in my mind more than some guys, and for that reason I fight more battles.

We speak for the entire Giants organization when we say that there is no place in society for hatred and bullying against anyone.

I looked up to my father when I was 7 and 8. I believed it was my calling to be in the big leagues. I'd been raised by a family that always told me I could do anything I wanted.

We're all physical bodies, but basically everything we do is determined by what goes on in our heads. The only person who ever stops me from achieving something is me.

It's not like I'm some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.

I do look forward to keeping in touch with the guys because we'll always be connected in people's minds.

I'm not trying to be cocky, but I set such a high standard for myself. I'm not happy when I pitch seven innings and give up two runs and get a win.
