His voice was stronger. He got a big kick out of the game last night. He sent text messages to the players after.

We took a chance, but it's not like we were drawing plays up in the dirt. We talked before the game that he wasn't going to get a chance to beat us.

He got off to a good run, but his command has become a little more inconsistent of late. He's got a history of issues with command. If his command doesn't get to be above average, he will fall in the line of a lot of pitchers who will show you a good game once in a while, and then you wonder why they don't have more success.

He hit his spots, had a good split and worked his fastball on both sides of the plate. We're not on top of our game offensively and he didn't make it any easier on us.

He is capable of better and we need better from him. We know and he knows he can deliver better. I talked with him during the game and after the game. Sometimes you have confidence in your ability and wait for things to happen. And sometimes you have to make things happen.

One of the toughest things to do as a man in anything is to slow down when we're not doing what we think we should be doing. As men, we want to step on the gas. That's a defining point. It's a growth thing for me. It's the next step into a player becoming more entrenched at the Major League level, to have the ability to slow the game down.

Leaving a game in the fifth inning I wouldn't think would make any pitcher happy, ... Sometimes different things will motivate people different ways.

We made a lot of mistakes, though, through the game to put us in that position. I don't think you can hang the (goat) horns on Brian.

We need better from him. He's capable of better. He knows he should be better. I talked to him a little bit during the game and then again after the game. ... He's capable of better. We've all seen better. He needs to take the momentum from the last two innings and roll that into his next start.

We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.

I'm used to gambling.

Even though I'm used to losing bets every day, I am not calm when I sweat a game.

I honestly don't think I can hack it in the 9-to-5 world, though I've never actually tried.

All good professional gamblers are selectively aggressive.

You need to pick your spots and bet big when you identify them. That's basically my 'Jeopardy!' strategy in a nutshell.

If I can really work in any sport, I wonder if the Golden Knights have an opening in their analytics department?

I always dreamed of working in an MLB front office and ruining baseball, but I have to settle for ruining 'Jeopardy' instead.

My family and I were already living our best lives before 'Jeopardy!' called, so we mostly want to continue that while also giving back to the children of the Las Vegas community.

I stopped playing online poker due to a combination of the UIGEA legislation and realizing that I could make more money with less effort by betting sports.

I feel like I've been lucky in a lot of ways.

My perception of a professional gambler has always been a positive one.

I first got into gambling because it was a way for me to leverage my love of baseball statistics. For the first few years, that's all I would focus on.

I think if you're talking about 'Jeopardy' style, I'm not afraid to throw the deep ball, even if it might get picked off, so Deshaun Watson I think would be the best comparison.

There's a lot of attention on me which can be good, it can be bad. Sometimes my daughter's acting up in public and I really wish I could become anonymous for a few minutes.
