Going in last year ordsprog

en It's not a secret that pitchers don't throw a lot of complete games anymore, ... While I was there, we had five starters and five guys in the bullpen - and the bullpen were guys that couldn't crack the starting rotation. ...

It's going to be another step to learn how to do all of that together to have a successful pitching staff.

en It's my first start, so I'm just trying to do the same things I've done in the Minors. I feel excited, and I'm happy to get a chance. If I do my job, maybe they'll make the decision [to keep me in the rotation].
