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

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

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

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.

I'm ready to do something different.

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.

To me, there is no more conscientious umpire in the Major Leagues than Jim Joyce. He gives you a hellacious effort every time.
