Opportunities are running out, and this is the do-or-die situation when the ball is in your hands, and you can either help your team to victory or not. And so I want to be in those situations. I think about them, and almost look forward to them.

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.

If you think individual, that's how you're going to come off. I've always given 'team' a chance.

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 like the feeling of losing.

I've been a leader practically my whole life. I don't know what it is to follow.

I just want my sign and I want to throw it. I think it keeps everybody on their toes.
