I'm not a fan of baseball really.

Not everybody's a baseball fan.

A pitcher will never be a big winner until he hates hitters.

I want to be the guy that can go out there and go at least seven, eight innings every time out.

A pitcher is not a ballplayer.

I'm a baseball freak.

I don't like the designated hitter. A guy who plays should be able to catch and hit.

I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.

If you are used to going five innings and then go six or seven, you won't have your good stuff. They need to start that from the minor leagues and give pitchers strong arms.
