The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games

The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they're taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.

I'd rather try and not win than not try at all

I look forward to another good year next year. It would be nice to win, too.

Consistency is something you can always improve on. You can be more consistent with your mental approach, the things you do physically on the mound. Instead of doing 5 good pitches an inning, try to make six. You can always do more of what you are doing well and try to be as consistent as you can be.

I could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they're in a jam, a lot of pitchers...try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.

The best pitchers have a short term memory and a bullet proof confidence.
