My agent called me and said, 'You're going to be on the cover of 'R.B.I. Baseball.'' I was like, 'Are you serious?' It's unbelievable. Dream come true. I was yelling into the phone. I was super excited.

To play meaningful games and try and win a division, a pennant, a World Series, that's what it's all about. That's the thing I'm most proud of.

The Boston Red Sox, they love to compete.

I'm definitely not satisfied and I always want to do better and learn more and get better.

It makes everything worth it; every weight that you lifted in the offseason, every swing that you took in the cage. When you feel like you came through for your team, and you see the joy on their faces, there's nothing like it.

It keeps you motivated to know that everyone has your back.

It's definitely cool to have fans around the world give their support.

We all need to realize that there are people out there who may be suffering and we all need to try to do our part to relieve that suffering when we can.

That's what makes baseball the best. Nothing matters but winning.

A lot of families with kids with autism can't afford speech therapy for their children and can't afford to get them in the best schools for autism. We're trying to help make a difference in those communities.

I just want to be treated fairly for my performance.

The Astros are going to be a dynasty.

Guys want to go out here and get the job done. Guys want to fight. We're going to fight and grind every single pitch and try and do anything we can to help win games.

If someone's going to throw me in, I'm not gong to try and hit a ground ball to third, you know? I'm going to try and hit it in the air. If someone's going to throw me away, I'm not going to try and hit a ground ball to second, I'm going to drive it to right-center.

I feel like I'm ready to contribute at the highest level possible.

If your feet are in Fresno, Calif., that's where your head needs to be. That's where your mind needs to be. You don't need to be thinking about anything else other than the next game you're going to play.

I want to meet Brandon Crawford and just pick his brain and figure out what helps him out on the defensive side of the ball.

Win at all cost. That's why I love playing the game.

I would just like to win. Wherever I need to hit in the lineup, whatever works.

You're going to make errors.

When we were playing chess in the house, she would never let me win until I was good enough to beat her. It was always a competition. She was also always there for me. She was a very caring, loving mom, and the sacrifices she made to allow me to get to where I am today, I'll be forever in debt.

We're a big community, a big family here in Houston.

I'm not going to win games by talking about it. Just by doing it.

I personally know I can be a 1.000 OPS guy every year.

If we keep continuously putting up good at-bats, the next guy will come through.
