I was hurt in 2016, and it made me look at longevity and sustainability. The stuff that I was doing wasn't working for me long term. So, I had to make a change.

You can have really good statistics, which are really good, and it's a serious advantage, but when push comes to shove, it's about players communicating and players playing together.

Every good team is going to have a good culture in the clubhouse.

Every start is an opportunity to get better and to learn how your body is feeling and what you need to do moving forward. It's been an evolution throughout the year.

Any time you can get in a position to start to get some of the quality work in as early as possible, I think it gives you a leg up or at least gives you the opportunity to be really prepared for the first time you take the ball.

I mean, our job is - we're baseball players, we have to go to work. But when it all boils down, we're just a bunch of kids out there having fun trying to entertain people.

In an industry where you don't always get to see your family as much as you would like, getting to hug your mom after the game is nice.

Cleaning up that lack of the definition between the two, and then leaning on the four-seam, having it become my primary fastball over my two-seam, it's just benefited me as a whole.

When you're spinning a two-seam, getting on the side of the ball to get more run or sink can be good, but it can really be detrimental to your four-seam.

You've got to try to close every inning out, take it one inning at a time, one batter at a time.

There is nothing better than having your home crowd cheer you on and scream with you in big moments and get the crowd in the pulse of the game.

Well, I mean, I like to be pretty athletic off the mound in terms of taking care of my job, which is covering first base, fielding bunts in certain situations, fielding slow rollers to the first base and having to communicate and direct traffic.

It feels good to be able to contribute, eat innings, provide some rest for the bullpen.

You know in a playoff atmosphere anything can happen.

You don't want to let the other team feed off your outward physical demeanor. But at the same time, you can't go out and play this game and not expect to just be angry and be competitive and be excited and have that fire in your belly.

I think there's a quiet aggression that you need to have, that presence that you have on the mound, the poise, you know.

When you're more comfortable out there, you start seeing different things, relaxing more, being able to trust your pitches more and not try to overdo things as much.

You're always just so inspired to get in the game and try to contribute any way you can.

It doesn't really matter who you're playing. You just have to keep going at them.

I certainly wouldn't pay for a ticket to watch a math equation.

There's a human element here you start to lose when you start rattling off the best mathematical equation to get the out.

As a competitor, you want to pitch against the elite guys and really good guys.

I'm a sucker for Wrigley, so I feel I'll probably be a sucker for Fenway, too.

I try to show up and do my job and get my work in every day, keep pressing forward.
