Sometimes when he have our No. 1 guy going on the mound that doesn't mean we're always going to win because we don't always give him support. Today we gave it to Conrad.

I'm not...you know what? I'm not gonna say that the guy can't win. I mean, I don't know what he's doing in preparation. But I will make sure that I do everything in my power to make sure that victory escapes him. So that's my responsibility in this fight. I didn't come this far right now to take a back step. So that's my motivation and my determination. I'm gonna close the book on this guy. So get your tickets early because this will be your last RJ sighting and I'm determined to get rid of the guy once and for all.

I don't even have a date when I'm going to get on the mound and throw.

Erica is modest. It eases me when she is out on the mound.

Johnny Sain doesn't say much, but that don't matter much, because when you're out there on the mound, you got nobody to talk to.

When I do win a national title, it would definitely mean a lot more if (Kwan) is there.
