It's all about having fun. Play hard and fair, don't hurt anybody. Feel good about what you're doing and how you're doing it.

Coaches have the worst hours in the world. They go home maybe twice a week. They're sleeping in their office. They're watching film. It's a brutal, brutal job and that's why I respect them so much.

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

My approach never changes from start to start.

Chicago was big for me as far as developing as a person and as a basketball player.

My cutter has been key for me, and my curveball. I've been able to spot them where I want to spot them.

I'll always have a kid in me.
