It was a catch. It was a courtesy to show the ump behind me. I was laying there with the ball in my glove.

He made some nice plays, ... They were nice plays, but they weren't anything spectacular.

It's no big deal. It's something we did last year and tried to carry over to this year. But they want to enforce the rules. I'll cut it a little bit and see if they need it cut shorter or not.

He's not going to change for anybody. No matter how many arguments you have with the guy or he has with a guy, he's going to stay the same ? and play the game his way.

I tried to dig a ditch to get the ball to go foul, but it didn't work.

Those are the rules. I'm not going to cause friction, go out and get all [ticked] off about it. The people that made that rule are the ones that sign my checks.
