I do look forward to keeping in touch with the guys because we'll always be connected in people's minds.

It's not like I'm some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.

I think in the bullpen you can tell during your warmups, if you have a good feel for it. But anything can happen once you get into a game. Sometimes you just wind up throwing it better than ever before one day without knowing why.

We speak for the entire Giants organization when we say that there is no place in society for hatred and bullying against anyone.

I think I'm aware of what goes on in my mind more than some guys, and for that reason I fight more battles.

When I'm doing well, it's like I'm in a nice little ballet. Everything is going slow all around me. It's very peaceful.

It would be great to just be able to ignore everything and pitch to a spot, to suppress the intellect and let the intuition take over.
