Because I have so much life on my pitches, I can get away with getting too much of the plate every now and then.

I've matured a lot as a pitcher. I understand what my strengths are. I've learned that I've got a great sinker, I get a lot of ground balls, and it's easy to get a ground-ball double play.

I'm a tough guy, and I like pitching in tough games.

My dad always told me to play hard and know that the people you're competing with and against are working just as hard or harder. So don't let them out-work you.

Maybe these kids are just too young and too dumb to know about the first 13. Maybe they can't comprehend that the Braves have only won one World Series in those 13 years.

Hitters are too big, too strong, and their bats are too quick. I have to go inside to have success.
