When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.
I was trying my best to just stop that ball from going over the fence, I'd sacrifice my body if I have to. I've done that my whole career.
I have the faith that even at my lowest points, there will come a silver lining through faith.
I smell blood. I'm like a pit bull. Once I taste blood I'm on you .. and I'm about to taste blood.
I mean, I think we are a better team than last year offensively, but there is always a question with the Minnesota Twins. We'll just have to wait and see.
Kirby played every day. You feed off of that. When you think of Kirby, you think of motivation. Im definitely going to dedicate this year to him.
It was so much fun working with these young kid actors. We had a great time and those kids are truly amazing.
For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right,
I try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.
I was raised in the church by my grandmother who made sure we went to Sunday School, read the Bible and went to church every Sunday. Every night we read Bible stories before we went to bed.
We're going to have to try to maintain and not get too far behind before we get hot. It's too early to be down.
Sometimes I get so pumped up, I get a headache. I get woozy. I get dizzy. I like that feeling, I don't know why.
Nothing in baseball can bring me down to the level where I was growing up in Pine Bluff, crying and broke. This is fun for me. Whenever you see me slumping, nah, I don't get upset; I'm all right.
I tell kids to have dreams, have goals, and believe in them because if you have any doubt, worry or fear, it will choke the life out of your dreams and goals.
