I was definitely honored to be chosen, but I just didn't feel ready to be pitching in big games yet. It was a tough decision. I talked to my wife and my mother. I'm not sure I'm ready to be pitching in front of 40,000 to 50,000 people. I don't think I'd be helping Team USA or the Indians if I hurried up (his training schedule) and got hurt.

I definitely care. I'm very competitive, but I am satisfied with my delivery and that I only missed with a few pitches.

I need to stay calm and just pitch my game.

As long as we win games while I'm on the mound, I feel good.

It's a great feeling to have the stadium rocking and chanting my name.

I don't feel any pressure. I'm not nervous about going out there and pitching.
