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.
In my bullpen sessions, I'm just trying to feel comfortable, throw strikes, and not get too complicated.
Just flush it if something bad happens. That's the way I was raised to play baseball.
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.
The cutter has really helped me stay in the game longer and helped me get past the five, six innings a little more consistently.
Every outing is a learning experience.
As a pitcher, you can't afford to get too ticked off.
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.
