The #‎ knuckleball can be a metaphor of what it's like to let go.

A lot of people don't trust the pitch. There's this kind of reputation it has for being untrustworthy and fickle and capricious and everything else, and those are words that big league managers and general managers and organizations aren't too fond of.

You never go into a season thinking you're going to strike out 200 guys or that you would have the most double-digit strikeout games in the big leagues, or anything like that. You just try to win, and the outing becomes what the outing becomes.

Realistically, I shouldn't be able to turn a doorknob without having some discomfort.

I think what motivated me was just hope. Something inside of me, deep down in my guts, always felt like there was something in there.

It's a pitch you can extend your career with because it's less taxing on your body. It's like dog years, but in reverse. I feel like I'm 27 or 26 in knuckleball years!
