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

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

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.

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.

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.

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.
