The dirt was OK, but once you hit the grass... Wet grass is slippery.

I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound.

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.

Regardless of where you’re pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

My stuff was all right, but it’s not about pitching good. It’s about winning. I pitched just good enough to lose.

You’re not going to win by automatically going out there. It’s hard to know what people really expect of you, and I’ve never tried to live up to expectations anyway. That’s no way to play baseball.

I don’t care if we’re out of it or not, if I’ve got a chance to pitch, I want to.

What has benefited me the most is learning I can’t control what happens outside of my pitching.

I daydream just like everybody else. I just do it with my body facing the field, so everybody thinks I’m paying attention.
