If you expect greatness, greatness shouldn't surprise you.

All I know is that if I continue to pitch well, good things will keep happening.

I like to challenge hitters with a 'Here it is, hit it,' mentality. It's definitely a big part of my game, especially when I get in situations where I need it. I usually save a little bit so it's there for me.

I think that a starting pitcher has to do something special to be as valuable or more so than a position player.

I'm a power guy. Good fastball. A knuckle curve, which I can throw for strikes. A changeup which sinks down and away from lefties and I can also throw for strikes.
