When you lose velocity off of your fastball, one thing that suffers is your off-speed pitches - the action on your off-speed pitches. Once you lose arm speed, it takes away rotation from your off-speed pitches. The rotation is what gives them the sharpness and the nastiness.

I look at scouting reports, but don't let them dictate what I'm throwing.

I'm a tough guy, and I like pitching in tough games.

Hitters are too big, too strong, and their bats are too quick. I have to go inside to have success.

I've matured a lot as a pitcher. I understand what my strengths are. I've learned that I've got a great sinker, I get a lot of ground balls, and it's easy to get a ground-ball double play.

I know winning 20 is a special kind of thing, but I'd rather get into the playoffs, and be strong for the playoffs.
