To see all the fans getting into it, that's pretty special.

As a kid, I loved to play centerfield. I loved to make diving catches.

Being able to help, being able to go out there every five games, is definitely something I was waiting for.

It's good to be compared with Randy Johnson, and it's wonderful to be compared to all the best pitchers in the game.

I don't try for strikeouts, but batters just swing and miss. I'd exchange strikeouts for more innings. As a starter, my job is to go deep into the game. When you get strikeouts, you throw a lot of pitches and sometimes you come out early.

My changeup looks like a fastball, but one goes straight and the other goes away from the righthanded hitter. Sometimes it cuts by itself, and I don't know where it's going.

I don't feel my best right now, but at the same time, I'm not trying to find any excuses or anything.
