I think it just has to do with getting older and getting better at what it was I was doing, and that I could take something small and kind of take my time with it.

Everything with me is normal except when I pitch (in Fenway Park). When I pitch here it's a little different. There is a little more anxiety to go along with the nostalgia because this is the park I grew up with as a kid.

There are a lot more family and friends here than in my normal starts and I want to pitch well here.
