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

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.

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

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

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

I would love to try to win another game. Obviously, it's more fun when you win. 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.
