"This year, I think the coaching staff, they're a little more open to it," Harvey said. "I think they're in kind of the mindset I am. I couldn't throw the changeup very good. Never got the feel for it, and I've got a good feel for the splitter, so I think they're a little more open to that. I know [pitching coach Doug Brocail] threw one, so it helps out to have somebody to talk to. It's just something that feels better to me, and I'm able to throw it. ... It's been easier for me to throw that than the changeups."
