I certainly wouldn't pay for a ticket to watch a math equation.

There's a human element here you start to lose when you start rattling off the best mathematical equation to get the out.

As a competitor, you want to pitch against the elite guys and really good guys.

I'm a sucker for Wrigley, so I feel I'll probably be a sucker for Fenway, too.

I try to show up and do my job and get my work in every day, keep pressing forward.

It would be irresponsible for me to comment on somebody else's opinions.

Family is everything.

There's going to be ups and downs throughout the whole year. You can't get frustrated.

You've got to go out there and play your tail off every single day and at times during the year it can be tough to do that.

You continue to try to hammer out fastball command the best you can.

There's hard work to be done, which I'll do. I'll continue to do it.

Any opportunity to throw against the Cardinals is going to be a good one.

I feel like sometimes I'm in a position to really do some good, so I try to do that.

You figure when you match up against other clubs and you go through the lineup one through nine, you get to the nine hole, if you can put together an at-bat or you can see some different pitches that helps give you an advantage competitively, it can make your lineup stronger.

It wouldn't be any fun if you didn't fail sometimes.

I don't think I'm going to dwell on one pitch. You've got to be able to shake that off in the middle of the game.

Trying to get better, always, is my goal.

We're out there pitching for wins, not for stat lines.

I feel like, by now, if you don't understand that the playoffs can be somewhat of a crapshoot sometimes, then you don't watch enough baseball.

I've obviously learned a lot, a lot of mental toughness, learned how to deal with some adversity. Hopefully I'm better for it.

You get into a situation where your back's up against the wall and you don't have any option but to go out swinging, so you might as well go for it.

Altuve is just so good at that. He can decide halfway to the plate where he's going to place the ball. I've never seen that kind of talent before in my life, and I don't know if I'll ever see it again.

It was a pleasure to play in Houston.

Base runners in postseason games are kind of tough to deal with at times.
