I don't see what could be better to play a game and get paid for it.

When you have an inconsistent season, you learn a lot about yourself and your pitching.

If I didn't play baseball I don't know what I would do. It just doesn't seem right if I go a day without baseball.

If the player has the confidence and ability, then he should sign with the pro team. Academics certainly play a large part in the decision, but if someone feels they are ready to sign, they should.

I'm going to approach it as trying to do my best, but you can't do everything yourself. That's asking for bad things to happen.

If you keep your team in the game and give them a chance to win each and every start, what could be better than that? That, to me, is my main goal.

When I was younger, things came so easily to me. It was just natural.

My body and my arm will tell me when they're ready.

Levana's face was fiercely beautiful. Breathtaking in her viciousness.

I have a tendency to really stuff things — like, I don't really express certain feelings.

You reach a saturation point where people resent having to share you more with people who they think are not as connected and so they end up with a feeling of resentment.

I want to identify what a genuine man does—the virtues, the habits, the disciplines, the duties, the actions of true manhood—and then call men to do it.

Love what you do; Do what you love.

The ego is willing but the machine cannot go on. It's the last thing a man will admit, that his mind ages.
