It's the best feeling in the world . The game's on the line, and you're the guy in the spotlight.

You have to be out there and have a mound presence. You have to be real aggressive and be real confident. You have to put the hitters on defense.

[In hockey] I was a goon, just protecting the better players. I've always been a better baseball player.

I like it when every pitch counts. There are a lot of people who see it as a negative, but I try to feed off it.

One thing about this game: It's really frustrating. In hockey, if you team's losing, you can start a fight. You can get your frustrations out.

I don't think about delivery. I don't think about mechanics. I just think about throwing hard.

You want to be as dominant as possible and you want to put some doubt in the hitters' heads. That's what I'm trying to do every single time I'm on the mound.
