careers pitching improvement
When you're pitching, you always have to make continual improvements. You always have to better yourself throughout your career.
adrenaline behind bullpen crowd everybody fantastic home pitching
The adrenaline was there pitching at home and having the crowd behind you. Everybody in the bullpen did such a fantastic job. That's the most important thing, I think, about this game.
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.
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.
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.
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.
years matter results
I never lost confidence in myself, no matter what the years were like or the results.
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.
