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

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

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

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

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

It's a really neat and special coincidence, but it's nothing but a coincidence. This wasn't set up to give Matt that honor. It's just the way it worked out. It's a neat extra.

I'm ready to do something different.
