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.

Just try to live in moment as much as you can each pitch, not worry about what happened after the past has happened.

When the butterflies in my stomach, when those leave, then I know it's probably time to retire.

I don't really judge myself, I guess. I don't really judge other players.

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

God gave me an ability to throw a baseball. He chose me for a reason, and I want to honor Him with that.

If I don't go 200 innings, it's been a tough year.

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.

Hitting's the hardest thing to do in sports.

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.

I'm a good hitter for a pitcher.

I learned the slider out of desperation.

It's always great to do something to impact kids in sports.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They say baseball's a game of failure. Well, that's only true on the offensive side.

Yeah, my faith is very important to me.

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

I've failed my fair share of times no doubt.
