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

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.

It doesn't make a whole of sense to me to waste pitches.

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.

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.
