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.

I only know one way to pitch. I really do.

I was under the impression I had signed a three-year contract. I want to be back. I expect to be back. I will be back.

Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

The dirt was OK, but once you hit the grass... Wet grass is slippery

I take golf trips with my brother or with friends. We usually go to Pebble or Bandon Dunes. One year we went to Hawaii.

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.
