You’re going to have to go out there and throw tons of zeroes to give your team a chance to win.

I’ve always had good mechanics and stuff like that.

I’m pretty patient since I’m big into hunting.

We’re in a little funk. I don’t think anybody’s worried about our lead.

Everybody wants to be a professional baseball player and, sure, as a kid, I wanted to do that. But once I got cut from my high school team, I figured there wasn’t much chance of that ever happening. I’m still in awe of it.

I was so small, I wasn’t even going to go back out for my junior year. But my mom and dad sat me down and said, ‘we didn’t raise a quitter – you’re going back out.’ I made the team and everything happened from there.

To get a save in the World Series is the reason I can’t stop smiling.

The faster you work, the better off you’re going to be.

The Cardinals thing, I don't really know if I could sign with them, to be honest with you. If the Cardinals and White Sox came in and said, 'Here, five years for the same amount of money' or slightly apart, I don't know if I could sign with the Cardinals. There's a lot of stuff that comes with that, a lot of distractions. I've talked to people that play in their hometown, and they say it's almost too big of a distraction.
