Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

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.

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.

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.

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

I'm ready to do something different.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.
