You've got to play every game until it's over. Baseball is a funny game, so you never know what's going to happen.

This is something I've wanted to do my whole life is play baseball, and I think just the opportunity to put on a big-league uniform every day is just... you know, people dream of it, but not everybody gets to do it. I'm thankful every day I get to do it.

You never want to see a guy struggle. And we've all struggled. It's part of the game.

I think all of us are thankful every day we get to put this uniform on, and we play this game. So try not to take any days for granted. Every time you take the field, give a hundred percent and leave it all out there.

You're going to work out and try to maintain the strength you gain in the offseason, and then you work to gain after the season is over.

My approach every game is to try to keep the ball down and get ground ball outs.
