The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

To me, there is no more conscientious umpire in the Major Leagues than Jim Joyce. He gives you a hellacious effort every time.

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

I'm ready to do something different.

The game has never seen a better catcher than YADIER MOLINA.
