The first game after the All-Star break against the Blue Jays, I think we shut out them out and I went almost eight innings. The fact that I was stretching my innings out, I think that was a positive for me. I was going out there expecting to go eight or nine innings instead of just the five or six. I had the mentality of going eight or nine last year. Casey Fossum

![Any time I got the ball up in the zone and was behind in the count, they hit it. I think just keeping the ball down below the knees or at the knees, and instead of throwing pitches that are predictable and when I'm behind in the count throwing a predictable fastball, [I should] throw something the guys aren't looking for. I think a lot of it for me now is I'm able to execute a lot of my pitches. It's just a matter of figuring out what they're looking for. Over time, since I've seen the hitters more, I've gotten better about doing that. - Casey Fossum Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBDYXNleSBGb3NzdW0gICAg&num=3 "Any time I got the ball up in the zone and was behind in the count, they hit it.
