I hate striking out, doesn't matter what time of the game. I just don't like striking out.
As you get older, you learn there are some things out of your control.
I kinda miss having Miss USA around.
I want to be back behind the plate as long as I can. I can help the team that way, and I like being in control and in charge.
It was always baseball for me. This is what I always wanted to do.
I'm looking to get better, and anything that will help me accomplish that, I'm all ears.
I always said I wanted to be the best at what I could do. I feel like I can improve.
It frustrates me if I'm not good at something, so I do it until I get good at it.
I have a few goals that I kind of keep to myself.
Nobody wants to hear me rap.
I'm not as cool as I'm supposed to be.
When things are said and done, I always want to be remembered as a great teammate and a great player.
I love catching, being involved in every pitch of the game; obviously, it beats you up both mentally and physically.
You can't put up numbers if you're on the DL, ... The main thing this year was just staying healthy, and I've done a pretty good job of doing that so far.
