I've done enough wrong on my own, I don't want to get blamed for something I didn't do.
The day I pitched, I would drink either 'cause I was celebrating or I lost and couldn't sleep.
You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.
I figured that pitchers had a better chance of getting drafted than fielders, so I decided I should be a pitcher. But I never expected to be picked in the first round. I wasn't even sure I'd get picked at all.
When I went back to Shea last year it really hit me how much the fans care for me, it still gives me goose bumps. I want to do the right thing for them and my family.
