“My dad is kind of a quiet guy and he keeps to himself a little bit. But he was a competitor at whatever he did, and it kind of carried on with me.”
“I'm not always trying to strike out guys. It just kind of happens sometimes.”
“Living up in Syracuse, everybody's a Yankee fan. Not too many Mets fans up there.”
“I grew up a Yankee fan. My whole family are Yankee fans. My mom, my dad, my grandpa, everybody. Really, every generation of my family has been Yankee fans.”
“I know I'm better than what I've shown out there. I just need to continue to try to get better and go down there and do my job when my name is called.”
“When I went to my first practice, I really didn't know what to wear. The coach came up and introduced himself and said, 'What position do you want to play?' I said, 'I can pitch. I'll try pitching.' It kind of went from there.”
“But I have a home in Arizona now. I've loved coming up with this organization and being with these guys.”
“Sometimes when you're in the game, things speed up a little bit, which can make you miss your spot by a couple of inches.”
“When you get strike one, strike two, you're putting pressure on them to swing at your pitches.”
“When you're gone from the game so much you miss those things, like just being able to throw a bullpen and work on stuff and having all this time to prepare for the season.”
“I loved basketball.”
“Sometimes you don't have your best stuff every day. You've just got to go out there and try to make pitches.”
“I listen to Zedd or Tiesto. I like listening to that type of music before I'm pitching.”
“I was fortunate to have a lot of teams that were competitive and wanted to win now - which was exciting, to have that many teams come after me.”
“'The Santa Claus' with Tim Allen, I watch it in July. I think he's so funny.”
“You have to have good starting pitching to win.”
“If I knew I was getting five dollars, or whatever, I don't think I would really change. I would still want to go out and win every game.”
“That's definitely a goal and probably one of the most important ones, just to go out there and be reliable and make every start.”
“Yeah, people always tell me I don't get that excited over a lot of things.”
“When you don't go deep in the ballgame, it's tough to just leave all the guys out there that are fighting still.”
