I'm just trying to take what the defense gives me.

Hey, hitting is hard-if you make good pitches that aren't elevated in the zone, you're going to have success.

My idea is, I shine, you shine. If I'm doing well and you're with me, you do well.

I've always tried to be the person who says things no one else wants to say. I've always kept it in house, as opposed to going to the papers.

Strike one is a big, big pitch-you can do a lot after you get strike one, no matter how you get it.

I try to be a smart quarterback. I'm not the fastest or the best athlete, but if I can know what the defense is doing and stick to my job and what needs to be done I can make the plays needed to move the ball and score.

I'll bring what I bring to the tale, but it's good to know you have two guys with the experience and know-how in big games.
