I'm more of a four-seam pitcher. I need to establish that on both sides of the plate, up and down, before I can do anything else.

I think I'm a better pitcher than 49-50. I was just battling to find out who I was and where I was and get him back here as quick as I could. At times I've shown that, last year I ran off seven in a row but then I ended on a bad note, but take the positives from anything.

He's hitting well from both sides of the plate. He's been picking up everybody else.

He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.

His command of both sides of the plate was ridiculous. He really has a nasty cutter, and he was using it well against righties and lefties. He's tough enough as it is, and tonight he was extra tough.

It was like if you were a defensive back, that was a breakdown and the guy's got a seam for a touchdown.
