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

I wish there was a bar I could send opposing teams to and get them hammered or something - I could tell my buddies in New York to leave their places open or something. Playing for the Yankees, guys come at you extremely hard. I have to be ready or I'll be embarrassed

The soreness I have is expected. I have total movement.

Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas. College baseball, I love it.

But I'm not looking forward to trying to strike out a lot of guys

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've been very fortunate. I feel very thankful. I've been able to come home and do some fun things and make it exciting for people here at home
