Getting kicked around as much as I did, you get tired of it. I'm not trying to hit people. But at the same time, hitters were very comfortable facing me last year, much more so last year than any year in the past, obviously. But there's something you can do about that as a pitcher, and you've got to be proactive in doing it. I feel like my command is good enough that I can throw the ball in off the plate and get people off the plate without hurting people.

I've made a living for 15 years with my command, and it's something I've always prided myself on and Thursday night, the good pitches I thought I made that got hit didn't get hit at somebody, and the bad pitches all got hit hard, ... Part of the mental grind for me right now is trying to get past that and not make excuses.
