I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.

I know about having days off. They can be helpful sometimes, especially late in the year. It's just key to go out there and establish early, especially in this park where they can put up some crooked numbers early.

I just want to say I owe the whole reds organization a great deal. Great staff top to bottom and I wish those guys all the best.

I want to make guys put the ball in play. If I give up ten hits, then I give up ten hits. But I want to work on making them earn it.

I just want to throw strikes. If I can't throw strikes, I'm worthless.

I'm not a conventional guy. I've never been a conventional guy.

Every day's a blessing, so I'm just out there throwing my best.
