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.

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.

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

Sometimes, with two strikes and two outs, I step off the mound. People are yelling, they're yelling really loud. I step off because I want to feel it. You've got all that adrenaline going, you've got that rush. People think I'm thinking about something, but I'm just trying to listen to everyone and 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.
