If that's not working, I don't know what is. The players have said all along we believe our system is working.

He is a guy that is capable of carrying his team with his bat. He kind of gets hidden in our lineup. He is in a zone right now, and when you get that way, you want to keep on playing.

What I like about this year compared to last year is that I really haven't had a lot of fluctuation from big highs to big lows, ... When you do that, your team can count on you pretty much every game to make a contribution.

I'm always ready on Opening Day. It's been the weirdest Spring Training that I've ever had. The World Baseball Classic didn't help, but I feel great and my body feels great.

hitters less noticed offense pitching pressure shown staff throwing time
I've noticed we've been going after hitters a lot more this year, and throwing more strikes, and it's shown in our success. It's been nice. Any time the pitching staff is doing that better and more consistently, there's a lot less pressure on the offense going in.
anytime ball drive games good hard job lack looking shows swinging
The way the first 10 games have gone, I've done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you're not swinging to put the ball in play, you're looking to drive it. Anytime you do that, you're going to swing and miss. But if I swing at better pitches, my whole game will be better.

I have no expectations about the offseason. The last few years, we've shown that we are only going to build from within.
