I see the hitter when he's moved in the box, like when he's moved closer to the plate or changed his stance. I see when the batter has moved his feet, and then I make my own adjustment.

Ever since I was a little kid, I was competitive.

I don't just think regular season. I think playoffs. World Series. That's how I think.

If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.

I think of myself as just another consumer.
