“I don't really watch video of myself. Yeah, I don't really - I never really have.”

“The playoffs is ‑ I think I took it for granted a little bit. My first two years I kind of just thought that always happened, I guess.”

“Any time first time out, you just want to make sure you can get hitters out again.”

“Bases loaded and nobody out is a pretty impossible situation.”

“Winning the World Series is really all that we play this game for.”

“I started really believing and understanding what it meant to be a follower of Jesus when I was probably in high school sometime. From there, just trying to draw on my faith since then.”

“It's amazing to see where baseball can take you.”

“I grew up a Dodger and got drafted by the Dodgers.”

“Your career goes fast, just a blink of an eye and you're an ex-baseball player, longer than you are a baseball player. I try not to think about it too much, but it seems like it does go fast.”

“The way I look at it, 29 teams fail every year and one team succeeds.”

“I've kind of found out that when I do get into trouble, that when I do have people on base, sometimes the best thing is to throw a little bit more off-speed, back off a little bit.”

“I'm a big sports fan even outside of baseball. I love watching guys that are supposed to be great, and are great, live up to the expectations. So I really appreciate consistency.”

“I'm not a big thinker. The less thinking the better.”

“What a blessing it is to throw a baseball for a living!”

“Ultimately, baseball is just a game. It's not so much how you play, but how you represent him why you're playing.”

“I don't care how you get the outs. It doesn't matter to me how bad it looks, how good it looks, how many strikeouts you have. None of that stuff matters as long as you get the outs.”

“Baseball is so performance-based. It's what have you done for me lately. I can get a lot of pressure and you can feel that, but if your life is given to God and your into Jesus there's really no pressure because at the end of the day your life is in His control and you surrender to that.”

“You can't compare regular season to postseason.”

“There's a lot of variables you can't control in trying to win a game, but at the end of the day it does mean something to win a game in the big leagues and be on the mound.”

“A line drive to the warning track on one pitch, I'll take that over a strikeout any day.”
