You play baseball. You play a lot of games. You win a lot of stuff. You win a World Series. But if that's all you've done, what have you got to show for it?
Clayton Kershaw
I hate watching myself on video. I don't ever do it. I'm just too hard on myself, and I always go away feeling like, Wow, I've got a ton to work on.
Baseball is just a game, obviously, but it means a lot to a lot of different people.
Cali was a name I've always loved.
I know I didn't deserve this, but God has given me this baseball ability. So I've got to do whatever I can to honor him.
I've always kind of had a deal with my wife where, in the off-season, I'm kind of clean-shaven, and during the season just kind of let it go.
No matter how long you play this game, you struggle and your confidence will go here and there at times.
I don't turn off being a dad. It supersedes being a baseball player.
I think first and foremost when you look at every other religion all over the world - its works based - you have to earn your way to the Kingdom. With Jesus, it's so different because we didn't do anything to deserve Him. He literally died for us and saved us! There's nothing else like that in the world. There is no other God like that!
As a pitcher, you're supposed to succeed, and you're not supposed to give up a hit.
I grew up a Dodger and got drafted by the Dodgers.
Yeah, strikeouts just kind of happen. It's not something I'm trying to do, I'm just trying to get outs as fast as possible.
People make a big deal about celebrations and what's appropriate and what's not. But just talking with some veteran guys, I think anytime you get a chance to celebrate with your team, regardless if it's winning the division or winning a series, whatever it is, you take advantage of that.
We don't own anything that we have. It is all a gift from God and we are just trying to be good stewards of what He gives us.
I've failed my fair share of times no doubt.
Winning the World Series is really all that we play this game for.
Yeah, my faith is very important to me.
They say baseball's a game of failure. Well, that's only true on the offensive side.
It's just Lord be with me... Winning and losing isn't the most important thing. He's not worried about the outcome of the game. He's worried about how I reflect Him and how I'm pitching... I think every time you pitch and every time you go on the mound you have to understand that it's for Him.
At the end of the day that's why I play the game, to glorify Him in everything I do and to compete for Him.
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.
My changeup needs to be better. Until I feel comfortable throwing that pitch - or any pitch - in any count, I've got stuff to work on.
On a day I start, I have a turkey sandwich for lunch. I don't consider it a ritual, but I'm anxious on those days.
Any time first time out, you just want to make sure you can get hitters out again.
Ultimately, baseball is just a game. It's not so much how you play, but how you represent him why you're playing.
It's always great to do something to impact kids in sports.
I learned the slider out of desperation.
I'm a good hitter for a pitcher.
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.
Hitting's the hardest thing to do in sports.
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.
If I don't go 200 innings, it's been a tough year.
God gave me an ability to throw a baseball. He chose me for a reason, and I want to honor Him with that.
A line drive to the warning track on one pitch, I'll take that over a strikeout any day.
I don't really judge myself, I guess. I don't really judge other players.
When the butterflies in my stomach, when those leave, then I know it's probably time to retire.
Just try to live in moment as much as you can each pitch, not worry about what happened after the past has happened.
When you're a kid, you just hope you make it to the big leagues. So to get to go say you're going to play in the World Series, it's an incredibly special moment. Up there with getting married and having kids, it's right up there with one of the best days of my life.
There's a lot of times that you got to put yourself out there to fail, you can't be afraid to fail.
Anytime a pitcher hasn't faced a hitter, I feel the pitcher has the advantage. The more times the hitter sees somebody, the more the advantage goes to the hitter.
The goal is always a complete game.
You can't compare regular season to postseason.
Who knows how many times I'm going to get to go to the World Series? I know more than anybody how hard it is to get there.
Getting to say you're going to the World Series is a pretty special thing.
You can't have your bullpen throwing three or four innings every night. Just not fair to them.
I don't really watch video of myself. Yeah, I don't really - I never really have.
I love baseball. I have a huge passion to play the game.
As competitors, winning is what drives you.
I firmly believe that you are supposed to love everybody. That is God's one boldest commandment.
