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

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.

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

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.

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.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.
