"The 25-year-old knocked the Red Sox out of the postseason last year with a gem in the winner-take-all Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series, going eight shutout innings while allowing just five hits with 12 strikeouts in a 4-0 victory."
"Schlittler anticipates a hostile environment at Fenway, saying, 'It's gonna be bad, it's gonna be bad... they're gonna probably have dudes that are my age or a little bit younger, sitting right outside the bullpen, yelling whatever, probably throwing stuff at me.'"
