“I never really envisioned myself being a big league pitcher. I grew up hitting, and pitching kind of is just something that ended up working out for me.” 

“I wanted to represent myself and the organization the right way, and I think I did. There are different people who are faces of this organization and I'm just one of them.” 

“I try to be a guy the young guys can come to talk to.” 

"There's no lonelier place than being unsuccessful in the big leagues.” 

“I'll be honest with you, I get pretty excited when I get out there. A lot of times I just have to step back, take a deep breath and really focus on bringing the ball down.” 

“I think everyone has just come to expect what I've done the past couple of years, which is perfectly fine.” 

“I know that a lot of our success rides on me. I've got to go out and set the tone.” 

“"I can't blow the ball by guys. I have to pitch. I have to outthink guys.” 

“It's just about letting the bad game pass and move on to the next one. That's a lot easier said than done.”

“It's about moving the ball around the zone. It's about cutting the ball. It's about sinking it. It's about putting the ball where I want it to be. That's something that a lot of guys can't do. It's something I have to do.”
