I have to do a better job of learning how to adjust.

Every outing is a learning experience.

I was in the big leagues my first year in pro ball - pretty fast. I really don't think I had an understanding of what it meant to be a pitcher at that level at that point.

Every time is a learning experience, and you pick up a little bit, and you learn things and try not to repeat them the next time.

The cutter has really helped me stay in the game longer and helped me get past the five, six innings a little more consistently.

My whole career's been kind of crazy, so you can't really surprise me.

It hasn't been very normal in my career, but that first year in pro ball was the craziest year ever.

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

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.

All I can focus on is my performance, and that's going to help me be successful, no matter where I am.

I haven't been on too many winning teams - in Oakland, we were in first place most of the year, and it was pretty fun, pretty exciting.

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.
