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.

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.

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

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.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

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.

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.
