Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, which people don't seem to be shy about expressing.
If you talk to any pitcher, consistency is the most important thing.
I've always approached spring training as I have something to prove.
It was a dream come true to be drafted by a pro team and have the opportunity to play.
I came to realize in my late 20s that my velocity is not going to grow so I had to learn to utilize what I had.
Physical therapy is part of my offseason routine. That has helped me greatly.
I don't expect anyone to give me anything.
I'm not a big believer in vitamins and all that stuff.
I'm not the No. 1 starter. I'm not the guy that's going to carry the staff for four months out of the season, but I can contribute in a lot of ways. And to me I'm very proud of that.
Your body is not made to throw like we throw. That's why you see softball pitchers pitching two or three games a day. It's a natural movement in softball. In baseball it's not a natural movement.
It almost felt like it was my dad back there. My dad was the same way in the driveway.
He did a nice job behind me today. He was thinking. I was quite impressed. He's made the effort from Day 1 to fit in and to learn.
He does have a little bit to learn about pitching, learning about hitters, situations in games, things like that. That will come. Anybody at the age of 19 is going to be in that same situation. The things that he has that the average 19-year-old, sometimes 25-year-old guys don't have. And that's what's going to carry him.
He looked no different now than when I first met him (in January). He's happy and excited.
