When I started to play consistently and produce consistently, that's when I knew that I could compete and do well in the big leagues.

The overriding thing has to be a love for people. If you don't love people, you don't care if we live in a morally degrading society. Christ is about love, and that's what we want to be about as well.

One-run games can go either way, and most of the time they do.

I was raised in church by Christian parents and I was baptized when I was 11 years old. But I didn't really have a good understanding of what the Gospel was really all about until college.

Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.

What comes first, the chicken or the egg? You start out bad, you don't really feel right, you don't have the same explosion, then you start to lose confidence, you start to doubt your ability. It's a snowball effect.

I want to play every game of my career in an Astros uniform.
