You win and lose as a team.

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.

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.

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.

You win and lose as a team.

I never lost confidence in myself, no matter what the years were like or the results.

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.
