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 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 only know one way to pitch. I really do.

I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound

I daydream just like everybody else. I just do it with my body facing the field, so everybody thinks I'm paying attention.

There are a lot of shots in golf I can't hit, but I try to hit them anyway. The frustration is not there, because I'm still learning. But I really know how to do this. I'm not just hoping to get it where I want it... Let the other guys do it half-assed.

People judge too much by results. I'm just the opposite. I care about more than results. I'd rather make a good pitch and give up a bloop single than make a bad pitch and get an out.
