The runners were going, and I got up and didn't hear anything from anyone else, so I threw it. I thought I had a play over there, at the very least someone going over there to stop it from rolling in the dugout.

I just went to tag. I usually go halfway. I saw him hung over the railing for a while and I had time to get to third. When I saw him running in I knew what happened.

He's a teammate. You're supportive of your teammates.

Obviously it's a disappointment. It's just one of those things that happens in sports.

I still believe I can play every day. That's the one thing I've proven: When I get a chance to play every day I can hit .300. But I haven't had that chance, except for the one year I did get to play in 95 out of 100 games.

The whole clubhouse likes him. He communicates well and really got us to remain focused. He definitely got as much as he could out of the guys, given everything he inherited. I'm excited for him and the team.
