“If it was up to us every single day, then we would all have a perfect life, but stuff happens, but it's an imperfect world.”
“I've always been open. My whole life. Sometimes I'll get more closed, I'll get even. It's more just comfortability for me. That's where I feel comfortable, then I was always told it doesn't matter where you stand as long as you get in a position to get ready to hit the ball.”
“You play 162 days, and you play every day, or you try to play every day, and it's going to take a toll on your body. But that's what we're out here for. We're out here to play.”
“I just like playing the game. I don't like all the extra stuff that comes with it.”
“I'm not a fan of people coming in the clubhouse.”
“I didn't like the attention and that's what's awesome about Rice. I would go to class, walk around campus and do my thing. No one even noticed who I was.”
“I really just think that we've got to have a positive influence on kids in general. And really understanding people are going to look up to me, so why aren't I doing something to be positive about it?”
“Maybe I'm in the wrong sport. I should go to Australia and play fast-pitch softball.”
“I hang around a core group of people, a small group of people. They've been around me for a long time. They know my personality. They know me in and out, same as my family.”
“I think when people think about California, they think about straight Hollywood, that Hollywood glamour, whole bunch of flashes, so much paparazzi.”
“Of course, there are times you are excited and happy about whether you have a good game or not. But I don't want to be that person that boasts about himself day in and day out.”
“I'm just here to play baseball. I'm not going to be on social media or doing any commercials. I'm just here to do my job.”
