“I think the flow of the game will a lot of times dictate what you do.”

“My mindset is to prepare myself to catch every day and adjust from there.”

“The way that I was taught to play baseball, and to me the way baseball has always been, is... Look, we play 162 games. It's a grinding, hard-nosed game. And even when I was a kid it was about not showing up your opponent. It was about playing the game with class. But, obviously I think you should have fun doing it.”

“One of the great qualities we have is forgiveness.”

“The older I've gotten and the more I've played, I realize there is a time for emotion, but you have to pick and choose those times.”

“You feel worn down at the end of every year, regardless of whether you have power numbers or not.”

“Fortunately for my wife, I'm not a snorer so she doesn't have to put up with that.”

“Hopefully I'm somebody the guys can look at and say, 'He goes about things the right way.'”

“Sometimes when I think you get fatigued, a little extra inflammation in the back and hip, it's harder to move fast and you lose a little bit of bat speed.”

“Well, I think baseball should be fun, but there's always a line. There's a fine line with everything. Where's the line between making it fun and making it disrespectful.”

“I don't know if the goal is necessarily to hit the ball in the air; I think when my swing is right it just happens on its own.”

“I have two dogs, a springer spaniel and a German shepherd. One of them's name is Nolan Arenado.”

“I've been fortunate to be on some really good teams.”

“I've been fortunate to be on two teams that have won the World Series. I've had a chance to go through that and see how much fun it is and the memories you make going through that process. No matter how many times you do it, you're always going to have an itch to do that again.”

“PetCo in San Diego is great. That park has a great vibe to it.”

“When I think of Jeter, I think of a guy that won a lot of baseball games. Ultimately, that's my goal in my professional career.”

“It was a tremendous honor to win the Gold Glove because I've always taken a lot of pride in my defense.”

“I'd rather have a good game defensively before offensively.”

“I think that's particularly important in the playoffs when you're facing good pitching. You've got to go up and just anyway you can try to be productive.”

“I think, thinking back earlier in my career, if I would have been told that I would be starting an All-Star Game at age 34, I'd be pretty happy about that.”
