You play baseball. You play a lot of games. You win a lot of stuff. You win a World Series. But if that's all you've done, what have you got to show for it?
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
When you're out there in the heat of the moment and you're pitching, and it's a big situation, you're saying 'Don't throw a ball, don't give up a hit, don't walk this guy.' But the harder you want to control something the more it gets out of your control.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Watching guys win the World Series looks like a lot of fun. I'd kind of like to do that.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
The more you try to grip control of your life the more God's gonna untangle that from you. He's going to make things go where you have to rely on Him.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I think more than anything, just putting in perspective what this baseball thing means and understanding that it is a gift and I didn't do anything to deserve that and realizing that if we continue to look to God to guide our path, you never know what could happen.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
When you win the Cy Young, it's like, well, you're a baseball player, that's what you're supposed to do. When you win the Clemente Award, you don't do it to get recognized for your work, but it means so much more than baseball.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I don't think I'm going to ever be the guy that gives soundbite after soundbite. If somebody has a question, I'll answer it. But if they don't, I don't have anything to say, really.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I get paid a bunch of money to do this, and so there's a responsibility to my teammates, every single day, to show up and be the absolute best you can be.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I don't care how you get the outs. It doesn't matter to me how bad it looks, how good it looks, how many strikeouts you have. None of that stuff matters as long as you get the outs.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Saying you're a Christian shouldn't turn people off. You should love people well and that's Jesus' first commandment!
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Everyone talks about how hard it is to have a kid, and that scares you into waiting.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I've been fortunate my whole career because I've had great guys to learn from.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I was given a gift to throw a baseball. I didn't do anything to deserve that.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Baseball is so hard as it is. For me, if you simplify it, it takes a little bit of the weight off, rather than trying to figure out all these other things. It's just peace of mind.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I watch all the pitchers I admire. I love watching Cliff Lee. It looks easy for him when he's on the mound; he's almost like an artist. He knows exactly how to get guys out.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
All the individual stuff is great, but I just want to win a World Series.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
You can make a lot of cases that you can take the win stat out of the game and you can still figure out who the good pitchers are, and I agree with that to some extent. But there's something about your win-loss record, there's something about having wins by your name that means something. Regardless of how important that is.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
If we have a good day and we win, I'll celebrate and enjoy it. If I have a bad day and I lose, I'll be disappointed and then come back the next day and think about the next team.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I'm a big sports fan even outside of baseball. I love watching guys that are supposed to be great, and are great, live up to the expectations. So I really appreciate consistency.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Regardless on winning the Cy Young, I have one goal that never changes, and that's to win every start.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
You never want to be in a defensive mode or have a defensive mindset. You always want to know that you're in control as the pitcher, you make him get hits, you're never passive, always aggressive. If I get beat, I want it to be because I got rocked, got hit hard, never because I walked a couple of guys and before you know it.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
I've kind of found out that when I do get into trouble, that when I do have people on base, sometimes the best thing is to throw a little bit more off-speed, back off a little bit.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
It's just amazing the providence God had in my life. God was there the whole time, I just didn't bother to look.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Baseball is going to end some day. I realize that as soon as you retire you know, people forget about you in this game fast! There's the next young guy coming up that's always better than you. So, for me, it's just about using baseball as a platform to do a lot of things.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
All I really try to do is whatever hitter gets in there, I just try to get him out in as few pitches as possible.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
There's a responsibility to the coaches, to the organization, to the front office, to the owners, to everybody who believes in you enough to give you what you've gotten, to the fans that show up every day and pay to watch you play - all those things combined. It's not fair to take a day off.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
There's a lot of variables you can't control in trying to win a game, but at the end of the day it does mean something to win a game in the big leagues and be on the mound.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Things change. Routines change. Things have to change. But change doesn't mean less. It just means different.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Baseball is so performance-based. It's what have you done for me lately. I can get a lot of pressure and you can feel that, but if your life is given to God and your into Jesus there's really no pressure because at the end of the day your life is in His control and you surrender to that.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
Baseball could end tomorrow but you're just understanding that God is in control of it and we are not.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
You are not supposed to convert anybody, that's God's job. But at the same time, you can be His disciple and live for Him and when people ask you why are you living for Him, you can show them why and profess your faith.
Quote by -Clayton Kershaw
If you're playing baseball, why are you playing baseball? Is it to have success on the field and be a Hall-of-Famer or whatever it is? Sure, that's everyone's goal. But then what? For me, it's about the legacy you leave off the field.
