Some guys we see that are high caliber players, you have good results against. You can’t really explain why you do. Or why you don’t. It’s one of those things that can be a mystery, but you have to do your best to figure it out and keep moving on from it. But focusing on one person in the lineup, if I put all of my focus on him, chances are somebody else is in the lineup is going to beat you. -Jake Odorizzi
