I don't want to pitch forever.

I've got four pitches now. I don't have to use them all the time, but I've got them in my pocket now for when it's necessary.

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

I wanted to make a lot of good pitches.

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

Bottom line is, you have to pitch. You want timely hits.

If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.

There are only so many pitches in this old arm, and I don't believe in wasting them throwing to first base.

I just want to pitch well enough for us to win. In my mind, that's what it's all about.

I don't care if we're out of it or not, if I've got a chance to pitch, I want to.
