I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

I'm ready to do something different.

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

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

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 very distressed that the report was leaked early so that the initial headline said 'dismissed, fired.' That's 180 degrees from the arrangement we have potentially.
