Just trying to keep going. Just try to stay in the present the best I can. Not get too big-headed or too down on myself.

I didn't really set any goals, just trying to go and play the game.

You're going to have your struggles every now and then, but you've just got to always keep it in perspective and try to have a good time.

Anything can happen. That's why sports are so great, the unexpected.

We know how hard it is to make the World Series; to do it two years in a row is really special. I know how lucky I am to be a part of it two years in a row.

It's just a grind every single day.

I'm up here to help the team win every at-bat, offense, defense, baserunning.

My favorite postgame treat as a kid was the sliced oranges. We had those when I played soccer, too, at halftime.

When you're playing first base, you help the infielders a lot. They appreciate you when you pick their ball. It's fun to help that.

Baseball is just a game you go out every single day and try to win, go in the cage every day and stick to your routine and try not to be results-based, even though that's what the game is based on.

I've played the outfield my whole life. It's like riding a bike.

I see myself as a line-drive hitter first.

I've seen my dad's three rings. I'd love to have one for myself.

I'm still learning about my swing more. I continue to learn, with the help of my hitting instructors.

You never want to see a guy go on the DL.

If I can't help the team offensively, I can help defensively.

I always felt defense was a big part of my game.

I thought the Little League fields were big. You look back now, and its obviously the smallest field you can play on.

I'm going to keep playing the way I do. I don't think anybody can tell me how to play; I always play hard.

I don't really do it on the field, but off the field, I use it to my advantage. I'll talk a lot of smack.

For me, I know the game is a humbling game, so I don't get too high or too low.

There's definitely more pressure to get the first hit when you are 0-for-8 to start the year.

I don't really miss pitching in games, and I don't think my arm could hold up. I would still love to try the radar gun, just not pitch on a consistent basis. I'd love to go and try to fire up the gun, though.

It's a game to be enjoyed. For us, it's also a business - it's a job. But you play better when you're having fun.

I love going to San Diego.

When you're not hitting and they're making good pitches, it's hard.

I played right field in Minor Leagues a lot before I started playing centerfield.

I love playing center.

Sometimes, there is not a lot of pressure, so you can relax.

It's hard being an everyday player.

I hate when pitchers get me out multiple times. It's probably an ego thing, but I don't like that.

That's how baseball works. You put some good swings on the ball and it goes out of there.

I've said it before, every day in the cage, I'm trying to be consistent and keep my load and keep my body right and my mind right.

Every day before the game, I know what I want to do. The days I feel off, it's knowing what it is I want to do and getting it back.

I'm understanding how to use my swing and working in the cage every day to repeat what I'm doing. Just not trying to do too much.

You take a couple of days off, and your swing is going to be off. I think it takes 15, 20 at-bats to really feel comfortable again.

The more positions you can play, the more ways you can help the team.

I think you just have extra adrenaline playing at home.

I think any way you can help offensively or defensively, and if you can get both in one day, that's a huge confidence booster and everyone wants to do that.

I know what I need to do to keep my body in shape to last 162 games.

I know what a full season is like in the big leagues. It's not going to be a surprise anymore.

I think when you have some success, you're living the dream, and you want to have more success.

The offseason after the 2014 season, I worked with hitting coach Damon Mashore. I always had power in batting practice but couldn't take it into a game consistently. We made a little adjustment with my hands, lowered them a bit to get a consistent path to the ball, a natural uppercut to elevate the ball and backspin some balls.

I've been around clubhouses a long time, I know how to maneuver around the clubhouse.

I respect the game, on and off the field.

I'm just trying to stay within myself every day and keep going.

I'm learning. Watching video. Understanding what I'm good at, what I'm not good at.

During the season, you just grind, it's a cat-and-mouse game.

I think growing into a frame is important, not being - in my case - 160-170 pounds.

Our hitting coaches have done a great job of understanding when I don't look right at the plate and getting me back on track.
