AJ Hinch is the best manager in baseball and is always thinking multiple plays ahead
I probably won't. He's got, he's, he's so smart. AJ's, I mean, he's the best manager in the game. So wherever he wants to take the game or whatever he wants to do... it feels like every move that is made during the game... it feels like it's always in our advantage... he's really good at his job.

View episodeGetting into a line brawl is the best way to shift momentum when you're losing a playoff series
As a hockey expert, my plan, whenever you're getting your ass kicked in a series and you wanna shift it around, just get into a massive line brawl at the end of that game and just try to change the energies up somehow.
I would rather be down 3-0 in a series than 3-1 because of the lack of pressure
It does sound stupid, but I just think vibes wise, 3-0, I know what you're saying. 3-0, you can kind of sneak up on 'em. 3-1, you can't... when you're down 3-0, if you can win game four and five, all the pressure flips back.
The Thunder will beat the Pacers 4-2 in the Finals
I think I'm gonna stay with four, two Thunder.

Winning cures everything. You know, winning is, it's a band-aid that, you know, it doesn't matter if it's a bullet hole, whatever, you know, it cures everything and you just kind of go play baseball.
I am officially the best bunter in Major League Baseball history because I am one-for-one
I do say this though. I do say I'm the best bunter in major league history... I had one bunt attempt got it down. So. Anytime big situations, I always say I'm the best bunter in major league history. You ready to, can't take that away from me. I'm one-for-one.
The pinnacle of pitching is winning a World Series ring
I just wanna win. I think the best thing in sports is winning. It cures everything. Individually, Triple Crown, Cy Young, obviously you wanna do that again. But it all wouldn't mean as much if I don't have a ring. If not multiple. That's why you play. At least that's why I play the game is to win World Series rings and go perform on that stage.
