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

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

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