years matter results
I never lost confidence in myself, no matter what the years were like or the results.
team winning winning-and-losing
You win and lose as a team.
games people may
I don't have anything to prove at all. I've pitched in a lot of games. I've had far more good games than bad games in the postseason. I know that some people may not remember that, for whatever reason.
jobs winning guy
I'm not going to be a guy who does dances after he strikes somebody out. I'm not like that. I just want to secure a win. That's my job.
baseball moving games
The game of baseball between pitcher and hitter sets up like a game of chess in that you have to anticipate several moves ahead to set up your opponent.
guy want
I want to be a guy who can be relied upon.
waste whole
It doesn't make a whole of sense to me to waste pitches.
waiting looks aggressive
If they know you're a nibbler, they're going to wait and look for that. Hitters have to be more aggressive if you're more aggressive.
careers pitching improvement
When you're pitching, you always have to make continual improvements. You always have to better yourself throughout your career.
games want starters
Whenever you don't have a good game, whether you're a starter, reliever, whatever, you definitely want to get out there again as soon as you can.
winning mind world
I'd like to get back and win the World Series and have that be the last image in my mind for the postseason.
baggy bench chills gave gets hit hopefully meant momentum run watch win
It gave me chills to watch Baggy do that. We've got some momentum going right now. We're doing the things we need to do to win games, and when Baggy comes off the bench and gets a hit like that, it just makes you feel like it's kind of meant to be. We'll hopefully run with it now.
houston colorado stranger
When you're a pitcher for the Houston Astros and a stranger notices you in a mall in Colorado, you know things have really changed.
