I threw a lot more curveballs in college and the minor leagues. Up here, they're looking for that pitch. A curveball is more recognizable out of the hand than a fastball or changeup. They're taking them or hitting the mistakes I make with them. I don't want it to be so recognizable. I'll have to work with that because that was my pitch.

You don't come up expecting to be a fan favorite. When I was a rookie, I was just trying to make a name for myself, but people already knew who I was and already had expectations for me.

I've learned a lot about being in the public eye. I'm certainly handling things more maturely now, I'm not getting as scared as easily.

My father-he pretty much taught me everything I know. He still pushes me to be the best I can.

Since baseball is my favorite sport, it's easy to go out and do what I do.

I'm going to go to my house and drink a little bit. Can I say that? I guess I can.
