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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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