“I make the plays I should. Maybe I'm not making all the diving or leap...” — Xander Bogaerts Quote

I make the plays I should. Maybe I'm not making all the diving or leaping catches some guys do. But I'm there when I'm supposed to be.

You can't look at a trade as a bad thing, I guess. It means a team wants you.

When I make decisions, I know you can't please everyone.

I definitely eat a lot of eggs in the morning, drink some coffee or tea, and then once you're at the stadium, they have everything you need.

As a professional, when things have gotten tough and you're frustrated and struggling, you just can't let it get to you.

It's been a roller-coaster ride. But I haven't been diving this well for a while.

I love scuba diving, and I've been up and down the Amazon.

What I want is for people to really grab hold of language and not be nervous about it. 'The Word Spy' is all about diving in and playing with words.

I'm at 23 feet, diving into 17 feet of water. I'm over 400 pounds. Who doesn't want to see that? I do. I'm always shocked that I can do it.

I love diving into the unknown. That's been my M.O. ever since I was a kid.
