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

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

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.

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.

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.

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