If I get two strikes, I'll go to a pitch maybe that will help induce that a little bit.

When you have a chance to take the ball for the world champs, you take the ball.

I love to work with the younger kids who are trying to live out their dreams, if in fact that's what they plan on doing after college to take the next step. A very select few have that opportunity so when you do have the opportunity you know, those guys take advantage of it.

The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other.

My main concern is when it's 2-0, I've got to keep it at 2-0. It gives us a little more of a chance. To give up four more runs, that isn't going to get it done. I don't care who you're facing or who you're playing, it's not going to get it done.

I think anything is possible if you have the mindset and the will and desire to do it and put the time in.

Even though I play a professional sport now, I love college baseball
