I do feel badly for (Eddings). I know that's part of it, that when you're an umpire you take (garbage). You're always going to be wrong whether it's for one team or the other team. He could have made 200 calls right that game, but that play is the one that's going to be talked about because it came in such a crucial situation. It's a tough job.

He still can be just as dominating when he wants to. I think sometimes now, when he makes a mistake, it may get hit a little bit more often, because he doesn't throw 98 or 99 now. But he's still a dominating pitcher.

He's not as loose and happy go-lucky as he was but, hey, that's the way it is. When you're a manager, the team lives and dies on your decision and at the end of the day you have to answer for the way your team plays,

When you're a manager, the team lives and dies on your decision and at the end of the day you have to answer for the way your team plays, ... As far as him quitting, I hope not, I'd like to come back here next year, but he has to do whatever's best for him, best for his family and best for his health.

For myself, it was awful. I just didn't feel like myself. I didn't feel like I did when I was in college.

It's been about a month that he's changed on the bench. He's not as loose and happy go-lucky as he was but, hey, that's the way it is.
