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

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.

Some days are a blessing when you wake up and you say, 'Wow, I feel good today.' Some days are like: 'Wow, I feel bad. I got no chance today.' You tape it up and you go.

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

My father knows me better than anyone. He can tell me over the phone what I'm doing wrong.

What people might find surprising: I taught my wife to change diapers when we had our first.

He pitches better when he's mad, so I try to make him that way.
