“Baseball is a game of nexts for me. It’s the next pitch all the time, it’s the next hitter, the next inning, and sometimes it’s the next game. But, it’s always about the next, it’s not about the last. And, if you worry about the last or get too high because you had a good one, you’re setting yourself up to screw up the next.”

– Chicago White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper

I heard that on Buster Olney’s Baseball Tonight podcast the other day and I just loved that quote about baseball.
