I'm just taking advantage of good pitches. I am seeing the ball well and my confidence is high.

Sometimes you're timing is good, but they're pitching you really well and you have to adjust. The only way you can do it is if you're in there every day.

I believe you've got to utilize what god gave you, so if you have facial hair, there are ways to look good while sporting it.

You're always trying to seize any opportunity or hold on to one if you already have it. It was just a matter of going out there and producing for the team.

I'm not big into the caveman look like some guys are. But I think it's pretty awesome that guys are more attuned to themselves and making beards a part of their style.

Sad to hear news about Michael Weiner, deepest condolences to his loved ones. His sacrifices as head of players union will not be forgotten.

I was getting ready way too late and the ball was beating me to the strike zone.?
