It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

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.

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.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.

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.
