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.

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.

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

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.

I'd like to get back and win the World Series and have that be the last image in my mind for the postseason.

When you're pitching, you always have to make continual improvements. You always have to better yourself throughout your career.

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.
