There are some guys who get on base and just run. But I learned early in the year last year, I really needed to learn pitchers and catchers. I know my catchers now when I get into the game. It's from when I'm not playing. I learned that from Eddie [Perez], because he only plays against lefties. So he tells me [I need to study the other team]. Know your catcher and know who's going to pitch.

As soon as the ball hit the bat I was going. I was lucky it was a chopper. I just ran and hoped to God I was safe. When I saw him get the ball I knew it was going to be close. I was just trying to go as hard as I [could]. I knew he was blocking the plate, so I just tried to go through him.
I know [Rivera's] leg kick is a 1.4 or a 1.5 [seconds]. And when [he uses a slide step], it's a 1.0. I don't care how fast you are, [if the pitcher gets the ball to home in] 1.1, 1.0, you just shut it down because you are going to get thrown out no matter how big your lead is.
