One thing I've been focused on was my changeup. I got drafted on my curve, but I'm going to get to the big leagues by throwing my changeup and fastball with command and confidence.

It's been amazing to be here. Just to see how the world champions go about their business. The main thing was to come in here and learn. Second was to show what I can do. I don't want to look like some amateur; I want to look like I deserve to be here.

Everything at this level is a learning experience. Last year was no different.

For the first time in my life, I'm doubting my faith, and it terrifies me.
For the first time, I want to change the rules.
For the first time I wonder: does it matter what it says on your skin, when what's at stake is your soul?

Yeah, we knew they were going to run the ball once they got inside the 30. They hit one (field goal) from 52 last year.

What to one person is common courtesy is to another tender words of life - and by the same token, what one person intends to show as great affection may be to his beloved an irrelevant show of frivolousness compared to the kindness of simply doing the laundry sometimes.
