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.

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

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.

When people say (nice) things you take them as compliments and it's nice, but it won't help you win your next game. The thing I am trying to keep in mind is that relying on my past performance will not make me win my next game, it'll only get in my way.

I try to do two things: locate my fastball and change speeds. That's it. I try to keep as simple as possible. I just throw my fastball (to) both sides of the plate and change speed every now and then. There is no special food or anything like that, I just try to make quality pitches and try to be prepared each time I go out there.

If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.

I don't care if we're out of it or not, if I've got a chance to pitch, I want to.
