The cutter has really helped me stay in the game longer and helped me get past the five, six innings a little more consistently.

Seven innings, three starts in a row, that's an improvement for me, and that's what I want to do: be out there in the game longer.

Six innings, you're doing your job. That's a good target to have, but I'm always looking to improve. There's three more innings of improvement left.

At the end of the day, it's me versus you, and I'm trying to get you out. If I can throw you six curveballs in a row and get you out, I'm going to do it all day.

If you don't feel right, you're going to try to tweak every pitch, every little thing, things that probably don't even need tweaking.

After the first time I got traded - I was in the bullpen warming up for a game in Double A, and I got called back in and got traded - that was probably the, like, most crazy it could be. And once I got traded, the next time it got a little easier, and I got traded the next time - it's just part of it.
