When I watch video, I try to watch the good starts so I can see how my mechanics are in those. Every once in a while, I’ll look at video starts that I struggled, and sometimes in those, there is no mechanical problems; it’s just, didn’t have good stuff that day.
I try to keep it the same, try to stay humble.
I would say I stay pretty calm. Don’t let the game get too fast on me. I try to keep my emotions in check, I guess, so I don’t show that anything fazes me out there. And I try to take it one pitch at a time.
Look good, feel good, play good.
I don’t think I care about the hair as much as people think I do. It’s just kind of there. It’s not really a big deal to me. It actually drives me nuts. It’s always in my face if I don’t have a hat on. I might have to get rid of it.
I’ve actually enjoyed pitching on the road in the postseason. You go out there, and you’re getting booed, and it’s fun to try to silence the crowd.
You’ll hear ‘Hippie,’ or, ‘Get a haircut.’ I like it. I think it’s funny because they think we’ve never heard that before. So, like, good one.
I’m the kind of person that if I try to throw it hard, it doesn’t come out as good. So my whole thought process is to stay smooth, stay on top of the ball, and just get my hand out in front.
We’re pretty good at putting bunts down and really good at hitting. I know as a pitcher, when you face a pitcher you know can hit, that’s not fun. I think taking pride in that, and being able to hit helps your own cause.
I like that the pitcher hits. I think that my feeling is that everybody should play a position. In order to hit, you have to play a position. That’s just my view of it. I feel that’s more baseball, and the games are managed different. I enjoy the National League, how it’s played.
When I’m away from the field, I show a little more emotion and stuff.
This is something I’ve wanted to do my whole life is play baseball, and I think just the opportunity to put on a big-league uniform every day is just… you know, people dream of it, but not everybody gets to do it. I’m thankful every day I get to do it.
You never want to see a guy struggle. And we’ve all struggled. It’s part of the game.
I think all of us are thankful every day we get to put this uniform on, and we play this game. So try not to take any days for granted. Every time you take the field, give a hundred percent and leave it all out there.
We do take pride in how we look, but it’s really just like, take a couple minutes, and you’re ready to go.
My approach every game is to try to keep the ball down and get ground ball outs.
When you have your best stuff, it’s a lot easier to pitch.
You’ve got to play every game until it’s over. Baseball is a funny game, so you never know what’s going to happen.
I had Tommy John my first year in pro ball. Going through that rehab process, I think that’s what really helped me become a better pitcher, because I was kind of new to it, and I think it helped me learn how to repeat my delivery. It was a crazy journey.
Normally when I look at stuff, I try to look at the good things. When I watch video, I try to watch the good starts so I can see how my mechanics are in those.
