I feel like I should go out there and throw a shutout every time I pitch. If we score one [run] and I give up two, then I didn't do my job as far as I'm concerned.

I count it an honor to play with some guys that I've watched play on television, and may be in the Hall of Fame some day.

I'm not a negative-minded person. But maybe to keep me humble, I look more at my bad games in big situations than good ones.

Whenever someone has the ability to impact people's lives, I think that's one of the greatest things that God gives us as individuals.

It gives me great peace to know that no matter how good or how bad I do, the Lord loves me. That's all that really matters to me. Baseball isn't what everything is about. It's about the way I'm being a Christian husband, a Christian father, or the way I'm living my life and trying to be a Christian testimony to people.

I feel like I should go out there and throw a shutout every time I pitch. If we score one [run] and I give up two, then I didn't do my job as far as I'm concerned.

Whatever I do, I love to win. I don't care if it's tennis or ping pong, I'll kill myself to win it.
