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.

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

I have good days and bad days, but they aren't much different.

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.

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.

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