I'm very mechanical, so if I have one thing that's going in the wrong direction when I'm hitting, it's hard for me to get a hit.

I just want to play baseball.

I try to be as quiet as I can at the plate, but still aggressive.

People, man, they love hurting people. It's not even fair.

I come to play everyday.

Nobody is going to dictate our freedom.

I've always been my own hitting coach.
