I think anything is possible if you have the mindset and the will and desire to do it and put the time in.
Everybody kind of perceives me as being angry. It’s not anger, it’s motivation.
If someone met me on a game day, he wouldn’t like me. The days in between, I’m the goodest guy you can find.

If you’re going to cook a fresh chicken, it’s not a big concern. But if you’re going to ship a chicken, there’s a change in structure.
My main concern is when it’s 2-0, I’ve got to keep it at 2-0. It gives us a little more of a chance. To give up four more runs, that isn’t going to get it done. I don’t care who you’re facing or who you’re playing, it’s not going to get it done.

Going to Omaha for the College World Series – the people there are tremendous – huge crowds and a lot of excitement. I still remember those days – you make a lot of friends that you never forget when you win a championship like that.

But I’m not looking forward to trying to strike out a lot of guys.
Even though I play a professional sport now, I love college baseball.
