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

I'm very distressed that the report was leaked early so that the initial headline said 'dismissed, fired.' That's 180 degrees from the arrangement we have potentially.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

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

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.

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.
