I played outfield in high school a little bit.

It's a good feeling to have people support you.

All of my buddies and I wanted to be Cal Ripken.

I approach spring training the same way every year.

It's never fun to get swept, but it's going to happen.

It is exciting to have two sports teams close to where you live.

I grew up on the streets of Baltimore, a city I love to this very day.

I see myself as an average to above-average catcher in the big leagues.

I think it's awesome. Playing here in Baltimore is a dream come true for me.

Every day, you want to come in and contribute when your name is in the lineup.

I'm gonna miss playing for my hometown team. Living five minutes down the road.

Whenever you get traded out and you are playing for a winning team, it's always good.

It's a dream come true. I get to play for my hometown team, the team I grew up rooting for.

I grew up in a very culturally diverse area of America and I am very proud to come from there.

Every night, I try to hustle and do what I can do. And when you hit a ground ball, you should hustle.

With everything going on in the world I really just want what is best for everyone regardless of who they are.

BLM (Black Lives Matter) is pathetic! Obama you are pathetic! Everyone should be locked behind bars like animals!

I do believe that supporting our First Amendment rights and supporting local law enforcement are not mutually exclusive.

Everybody has always put this on me, this label, that I'm not a very good defensive catcher. To me, I don't see it that way.

Black people beating whites when a thug got shot holding a gun by a black officer haha (expletive) cracks me up! Keep kneeling for the anthem!

Any time you can go out there and throw 12 pitches in any inning, you give your team some momentum coming in and get some confidence out on the mound.

Anytime I can get in there, playing every now and then, and contribute some way, whether it's throwing out a guy or calling a good game or getting a hit and RBI, it's big.

I like many Americans are frustrated by a lot of things in the world and I would like to be a part of the dialogue moving forward to make this a better world for everyone.

I've always been a guy who comes in not being guaranteed a spot and always fighting for a spot. Any time you're in a camp, and you're not a big money guy, you're always going to be competing for a job.

I am proud that my inner circle of friends has never been defined by race but by the content of their character. Any former teammate or anyone who has met me can attest to this and I pride myself on not being a judgemental person.

Opening Day was a big thing. I came to a lot of Orioles games. I grew up a couple blocks from here, so I was always coming down to the stadium. I always made it down for Opening Day until I was a little bit older and I had ball. But when I was younger, I always missed school.

I grew up in a very culturally diverse area of America, and I am very proud to come from there. I am also proud that my inner circle of friends has never been defined by race but by the content of their character. Any former teammate or anyone who has met me can attest to this, and I pride myself on not being a judgmental person.
