My goal is to get outs as soon as I can. Strikeouts aren't that big a deal to me.

I want to stand out. After my career is over, I want people to say, 'He was different.' It's not to be outrageous. I just want people to know that when I played ball, I was having fun.

I try to be a smart quarterback. I'm not the fastest or the best athlete, but if I can know what the defense is doing and stick to my job and what needs to be done I can make the plays needed to move the ball and score.

One thing I've learned about the NBA is that you can have one good year, but you've always got to be progressing and working and making yourself better.

With the game on the line. I want the ball in my hands.

The pitch count situatio-it doesn't matter if you throw 120 or 80, whatever. It's the quality of pitches that you throw.

I don't think in the past. I don't think in the future. You grasp the moment.
