I've said this before, but going and playing with the guys that have been to the World Series, the elite players of the game, there's no harm in hanging around those guys at all.

You're going to bat so many times during a season and it's not worth getting mad about. I still get frustrated, but I try not to let the other team know that.

[Clayton Kershaw ] is intense. He's a competitor.He's extremely fun to play behind.

It's pretty self-explanatory. If we play well, we know what our picture is. If we don't play well, we'll know what our picture is.

Before, shortstops and second basemen were mostly defensive guys that made all the plays and didn't really hit that well. But now it's beginning to change a little bit. Now, shortstops and second basemen are very productive in terms of run producing.

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.
