He is more relaxed. When you first come to a new league and start in a hole, it's tough to get out, especially for a young guy. Getting sent down and back up is tough.

He's been doing that ever since I've known him. Thank God he hasn't hit anybody.

We had chances to get more guys home. Give their pitchers credit. They also made big pitches when they had to.

Nobody wants to be the oldest guy in the clubhouse, but everybody has their role. Everybody has their chance. It's like I tell them: As long as you've got a uniform on, you've always got a chance to play in the major leagues. It's not a big jump from here.

He was a dark horse. Nobody expected it. Hopefully, he pitches there for 10 years.

I went back down to Double-A ball after being up. I understand what it's like. It's not easy, but I know he can add a lot here.
