I learned how to pitch better and how to compete better. I had a little slower velocity and learned how to throw my change-up for strikes when I needed to. That was a big help. It was something that I needed to go through.

He's aggressive with his fastball. He doesn't pitch to the park, kind of the same mentality I take out. When you're at Coors Field, you can't just say, 'I'm going to do something different.' You can't change the type of pitcher you are, you just have to go out there, be aggressive, and make your pitches. He made some great pitches today.

He had more velocity on his fastball, his changeup was slower, and he had sharper breaking stuff, ... He had better stuff than he did in May.

This is the way I used to hold that pitch.

I've learned over the years that it doesn't matter where you pitch in the rotation. You have to go out there and perform. For me, preparation is everything. You have to know how to execute pitches, and know who to throw what pitches, and where.
