concern deal family great guys powerful team
Obviously, a lot of guys on the team have family there. There's a great deal of concern because it's a very powerful storm.
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.
guy want
I want to be a guy who can be relied upon.
expecting game guys might throw
In the past, guys might be wailing away expecting a fastball, but now that they know I throw so many sliders, it's different, ... This is a game where you have to make continual adjustments and get better all the time. Otherwise, you're going to be struggling.
guys maybe pitching work
I need to get that in a better area. If I'm getting guys out doing that, then that's what I need to do. If I'm still not getting guys out, if I'm still not pitching as well as I want to, then maybe I need to work on the other pitches.
competing deals enjoyed feeling game great guys hitters locate power room stuff tremendous
It was one of those deals where you had no room for error, ... They had tremendous power hitters and guys that could take you deep. That being said, you have to locate and be able to keep all our stuff down. I just enjoyed competing in that game tremendously. It was a great feeling for me.
anyone bad fast game happy opportunity
Obviously, I wanted to get back in there, ... I was happy to get the opportunity to get in the game tonight. Anyone would want to get back in as fast as they can after a bad game.
immediate obviously pitch wish
Obviously I wish I had the pitch back. That's kind of the immediate feeling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
