You don't come up expecting to be a fan favorite. When I was a rookie, I was just trying to make a name for myself, but people already knew who I was and already had expectations for me.
Since baseball is my favorite sport, it's easy to go out and do what I do.
Nobody wants to lose. But I don't care what my win-loss record is. At the end of the day, I don't look at it.
I've always looked at myself and criticized myself first, and that's the way I'm always going to be.
I've learned a lot about being in the public eye. I'm certainly handling things more maturely now, I'm not getting as scared as easily.
I'm going to go to my house and drink a little bit. Can I say that? I guess I can.
People out there said I was too small. It's those kinds of moments that pushed me to be where I'm at right now.
I'm focused on myself and on what I've got to do...I'm just trying to get back on track and keep this positive mindset.
