I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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