Hideki Irabu had a very good curveball. Just a straight up and down, swing-and-miss curveball.

I think you learn. You learn from your mistakes. You learn from things you do and try to stay away from the negatives in your life. I think I've grown.

I'm always happy. I like to have fun. During the game, I don't like showing my emotions, though. I'm all about winning the game. I take a lot of responsibility for that.

I'm very proud of my area around the plate. I don't want anyone messing with my dirt.

When you're aggressive behind the plate, calling a game, that's when you're at your best. You can't be tentative.

You gotta take care of yourself; you cant do anything in excess.
