I used to be hyper, throw crazy and not think about what I wanted to do with each pitch. Now I have a better understanding of what it is to be a major league pitcher.

In the future, I want to be consistent from Day 1. We're still making adjustments. I still believe that I can be better.

I don't try for strikeouts, but batters just swing and miss. I'd exchange strikeouts for more innings. As a starter, my job is to go deep into the game. When you get strikeouts, you throw a lot of pitches and sometimes you come out early.

I don't feel my best right now, but at the same time, I'm not trying to find any excuses or anything.

Dreams can come true, but you have to go for it.

I know what to do when they give me the ball. I know what to do to give this team a chance to win.

It's good to be compared with Randy Johnson, and it's wonderful to be compared to all the best pitchers in the game.
