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.

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

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

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

You're not going to win by automatically going out there. It's hard to know what people really expect of you, and I've never tried to live up to expectations anyway. That's no way to play baseball.

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

What has benefited me the most is learning I can't control what happens outside of my pitching.
