Because I have so much life on my pitches, I can get away with getting too much of the plate every now and then.

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

Ever since I was a little kid, the last thing I wanted to do was lose. I hated losing. I still hate it. I guess you can see that when I'm out there.

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.

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.
