- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
'ACE' is one of the acronyms I've used over the years. It stands for 'Acting cures everything.' You weren't promised to come to the ballpark and feel great on your start day. Basically, how can you put something on display to the opponent that gives the appearance of 'OK, this guy is locked in today,' whether you are or not?

People had lost faith in me in Baltimore, and rightfully so. I knew that was not the guy I was.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I trust how much my ball moves. I can throw it at you or this far off the plate and have it end up on the black. That's where I kind of went to the next level. I knew what all my pitches were doing. Even in '14, I didn't have that ability.
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I expect to beat everybody I play. It's kind of that quiet confidence that I have inside that I try to present to the opponent without getting too overboard. Because there are times when I seem composed, but inside I'm losing my mind.
- Try
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You really want to try to continue to pile up outs as often as you possibly can. Whether they get a hit or not really doesn't affect the way you continue to approach that lineup, especially with a five-run lead.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sequencing is a really big factor in preparing for a team that you've faced several times. For me, at the end of the day, I feel like if I execute, regardless if I were to use same sequencing as I have in the past against these guys, I still feel confident in my ability to have success.

- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Early in my career, I wasn't good in the strike zone early. I was good in the strike zone late, which is not a good thing.
- Delivery
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At an early age, if you develop a delivery or a throwing motion that is direct to the plate, then that's fine. If you have one that's slightly open, that's fine, too.
- Drastically
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You play your surroundings. You pitch accordingly. Not that I drastically try to change my game plan based on the score or the team or stadium, but you have to take everything into consideration.

What I did before in my career you can pretty much throw out the window. Out of sight, out of mind.

- Football

There's food and supplements that you can take legally that will better your body and help you stay healthy. Shortcuts are something that's always been around all sports, but as a union, we're trying to do the best we can to weed those guys out of the game.
- Delivery
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I repeat my delivery consistently. My balance is much improved. And the mental and physical toughness Pilates requires to complete movements the correct way have directly helped me on the mound.

- Battle
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't like to see any sucker punches. I do think, in the heat of battle, if you're getting hit on the hip with 98, then you should be able to go out and see somebody.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I don't like to see is a lot of chirping and guys just talking crap to each other. If you got something wrong with a guy, go see him.

I like my chances toe to toe with just about anybody.
- Information
- |

- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

With a runner at second base with nobody out, you're trying to punch somebody out. You understand when there are guys in scoring position; hitters like to be aggressive early.
