People had lost faith in me in Baltimore, and rightfully so. I knew that was not the guy I was.

Pilates has been around a long time but maybe was taboo in this sport. I think it's only a matter of time before you see a reformer in every big league clubhouse.

From Jake Arrieta

I trust how much my ball moves. I can throw it at you or this far off the plate and have it end up on the black. That's where I kind of went to the next level. I knew what all my pitches were doing. Even in '14, I didn't have that ability.

From Jake Arrieta

I expect to beat everybody I play. It's kind of that quiet confidence that I have inside that I try to present to the opponent without getting too overboard. Because there are times when I seem composed, but inside I'm losing my mind.

From Jake Arrieta

You really want to try to continue to pile up outs as often as you possibly can. Whether they get a hit or not really doesn't affect the way you continue to approach that lineup, especially with a five-run lead.

From Jake Arrieta

Sequencing is a really big factor in preparing for a team that you've faced several times. For me, at the end of the day, I feel like if I execute, regardless if I were to use same sequencing as I have in the past against these guys, I still feel confident in my ability to have success.

I've always been in good shape. I just sucked early in my career from a statistical perspective.

From Jake Arrieta

I personally don't think guys should get multiple chances when guys fail a steroid test.

From Jake Arrieta

Early in my career, I wasn't good in the strike zone early. I was good in the strike zone late, which is not a good thing.

From Jake Arrieta

At an early age, if you develop a delivery or a throwing motion that is direct to the plate, then that's fine. If you have one that's slightly open, that's fine, too.
