Part of the
beauty of the game is that I keep having to trick them physically as
well as mentally. I have to let them know that I've got all my weapons
today, so you've got to pay attention to all of them.

"In warm-ups, I had to throw all the pitches.
And in between innings, they're noticing, 'He's not throwing this in his
warm-up pitches.' So they note all of that stuff — if you've backed off
on a certain pitch, and they'll adjust their approach to you
accordingly. So part of the beauty of the game is that I keep having to
trick them physically as well as mentally. I have to let them know that
I've got all my weapons today, so you've got to pay attention to all of
