I'm very confident in what I do, but I'd like to think I don't ever show any kind of cockiness or overconfidence.

I don't care how much I'm talked about or hyped. It's still up to me to go out and perform.

Whether you have a great game or a terrible game, tomorrow's another day and you've got to come out here and compete.

Because Jesus Christ has prepared Himself from the foundations of the world we can trust Him as one uniquely qualified through the fullness of His love for His Father and us. His love, meekness, condescension, knowledge, power, commitment to agency, and obedience combine to bring this elusive peace to all of God’s children. Our peace was purchased by the shedding of the innocent blood of God’s purest Son. Our trust in His capacity to bring us this peace can be complete because that has been part of His work and His glory from the beginning.

As soon as baseball becomes a job, as soon as I stop caring, as soon as the smile goes away, I'll hang up my spikes and do something else.
