I don't get caught up in the hoopla, worry about where I'm pitching or if I'm pitching Game 1 or Game 5.
I think every facet of running has its benefits towards a starting pitcher. I mean, you're explosive off the mound and yet you've got to have endurance.
Perfectionist is sometimes the wrong word... It means like you're never satisfied, or you're upset by every single failure - any type of failure. And so for me, I don't look at failure as necessarily a bad thing as long as I'm able to learn from it and take something from it, so that next time I'm in that situation I know how to succeed.
My slider's been very, very good to me.
I don't worry about infield shifts at all - you play where you're gonna play. I'm just gonna pitch my game.
Sometimes in this game, you get punched in the face. And you've got to be able to take it and learn from it.
