When I'm healthy, I can still pitch. I know I can still pitch at that level and get the results that I want.

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

You would always beat me; not so much because you are a better fighter as because you will not accept defeat.
