The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other.

I don't think there's anything out there I can be afraid of.

You know your talent. You know if you work hard, your hard work is going to pay off one day.

The soreness I have is expected. I have total movement.

But I'm not looking forward to trying to strike out a lot of guys

Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas. College baseball, I love it.

I've lost a little bit of my fire... I don't want to say I've lost my passion.

I was pitching on all adrenaline and challenging them. I was throwing the ball right down the heart of the plate.

When you have a chance to take the ball for the world champs, you take the ball.

Every time I toe the rubber, it's no different for me than it was in the World Series.

The reality is that my stepfather was like a father to me and watching him die from a sudden heart attack was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through.

When I look back at the tapes, your first everything, your first All-Star Game, your first playoff experience, it just seems like it went by really fast.

Even though I play a professional sport now, I love college baseball.

If I get two strikes, I'll go to a pitch maybe that will help induce that a little bit.

I don't want to speak to two empty chairs.

He hit the ball so hard, I couldn't even turn around in time to see it go over the fence.

If you're going to cook a fresh chicken, it's not a big concern. But if you're going to ship a chicken, there's a change in structure.

My only day off is the day I pitch.

If someone met me on a game day, he wouldn't like me. On the days in between, I'm the best, guy, you can find.
