I can pretty much take anything that comes at me.

No one wants to be known as a six-inning guy.

Pretty excited to get to Boston. Great city and great team; they're in the race. They want to win here, and that's what I want to do.

It's pretty frustrating waiting for anything.

My goal is to go out there, make every start.

Repeating my mechanics was difficult. I was always trying to do something different to make it click.

I was 11 years old and have the same curveball I have now. So I was literally striking everybody out. I always threw hard, and I was bigger than all the kids, so I would throw hard and throw that curveball, and no one could hit me.

When you don't have one that you throw for strikes - they are good hitters - they can cancel out one pitch and go to another. Now I have four pitches. If one's not working, I've got three others. It makes the game totally different.

Getting my curveball back and finding another pitch just helped me figure out how to pitch.

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.
