If you keep your team in the game and give them a chance to win each and every start, what could be better than that? That, to me, is my main goal.

I don't see what could be better to play a game and get paid for it.

The minute you start getting in trouble, you can't try to do new stuff. You can't try to make a nasty pitch or 'paint the black' because that's when you fall behind. You have to stick with what works for you and go after hitters like there's nobody on base.

My body and my arm will tell me when they're ready.

If I didn't play baseball I don't know what I would do. It just doesn't seem right if I go a day without baseball.

I'm going to approach it as trying to do my best, but you can't do everything yourself. That's asking for bad things to happen.
