“I was trying to establish myself in the big leagues and trying to find ways to stick. If my team won the games that I pitched, then I was going to probably stick around and not go up and down on the option train.”

“I think it's important to know it's a long season and obviously every game counts the exact same.”

“I think if you're not looking to learn or you're not looking to get better every day, that people are gonna pass up on you.”

“That was a very aha moment. It was, 'I'm in the big leagues.'”

“Tearing it up in A ball and tearing it up in the big leagues are completely different. For that matter, tearing it up at Double-A and tearing it up in the big leagues are completely different.”

“There's a moment when you come to a certain point, and if you make the leap you get to the big leagues. But if you back away, you get stuck.”
