Being able to help, being able to go out there every five games, is definitely something I was waiting for.

In order for you to win a game, a lot of things have to go right. Your team has to win. Your team has to perform. When you talk about striking out people or ERA, that's personal stuff and where you show people what kind of pitcher you are.

It's a great feeling for me just to put my uniform on and be part of my team.

My changeup looks like a fastball, but one goes straight and the other goes away from the righthanded hitter. Sometimes it cuts by itself, and I don't know where it's going.

When you hear from other players and they're telling you you're the best pitcher in baseball, that makes you feel really good.

To see all the fans getting into it, that's pretty special.
