When I see players like Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Robinson Cano, and Miguel Cabrera, I see they have a good season, but they also jump up the next year and do it over and over again. I want to be one of those players that do it every year.
-
I've been putting 100% of work into defense like I do hitting because that way I can help my team more.
-
My dream was to win the World Series, and I know the fans' dream was to win the World Series as well. So we are on the same page, and I really enjoy my time in Houston.
-
I don't like talking about myself.
-
In spring training, I just try to spread everything out so I can be 100 percent before the season starts. I don't want to start feeling like I don't get it once the season starts. I want to be 100 percent on Opening Day.
-
I played good ball in the minor leagues, and that's why they called me up to the major leagues.
-
I don't want to get on base and just run for the sake of running. What good is it if you steal 100 bases and get caught 60 times?
-
I love playing baseball, and I always promised myself, if I had the chance, that I would work as hard as I could to be the best player I could possibly be.
-
I don't think I'm the face of the city or the Houston Astros. I'm just another guy who is playing hard to make dreams come true.
-
We need to not just ask God but thank Him for everything like our health, our family. And ask Him to bless our homes and to always be present in our daily lives. And to keep us safe is most important.
-
You know that in the playoffs, everyone starts from zero. No matter what team you have to face, if you want to make it to the World Series, you have to get through two rounds against very good teams that are going to be hot.
-
I don't think too much about mechanics. I just like to go up there and swing. It's more than my swing, though. It's my mindset. I always go to home plate with a plan.
-
I'm not a guy that shows a lot of emotion while I'm playing.
-
I literally love Justin Verlander.
-
Sometimes you go to home plate, and you have an idea, like a clear idea, of what they're going to throw to you. I think that's all: getting better pitches to hit, realizing when you hit the ball better, what pitch you hit, if you're chasing too much. If you figure out all that, you can get a little better as a player.
-
To achieve success wasn't to get into the major leagues or have the best season in the world. The best success is to live your life the way God wants you to.
-
I wanted to be part of the Houston Astros when they become a good team. That was my motivation... I never had in my mind the idea of playing with any other teams.
-
I grew up in a family that always believed in God. And I feel like, every morning when you wake up, you have to thank Him just for another day. I do it every day.
-
I think most of the people like the kind of player like Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. They're pretty tall, and they can do everything.
-
I never let my size matter, just like Dustin Pedroia.
