I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.

In the future, I want to be consistent from Day 1. We're still making adjustments. I still believe that I can be better.

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.

When you hear from other players and they're telling you you're the best pitcher in baseball, that makes you feel really good.

Dreams can come true, but you have to go for it.

That no-hitter stuff was a long time ago; I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm just going through a tough time.

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.
