Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

It's a really neat and special coincidence, but it's nothing but a coincidence. This wasn't set up to give Matt that honor. It's just the way it worked out. It's a neat extra.

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.
