Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead.

If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.

If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.

You can never quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.

I've pitched too many innings and pitched too many years - one game doesn't make or break my career.

Any time you can go out there and throw 12 pitches in any inning, you give your team some momentum coming in and get some confidence out on the mound.

Whenever I was on the pitch, I always tried to win.

Whatever I can do to win, I'll do it, even if I have to get hit by a pitch, whatever it takes.
