I didn't have to drive a half hour to get to a batting cage. It wasn't such a chore to leave the family and go hit. I could go down there at 9:30 at night if I wanted. I just hit a lot more.

I don't think it was where he wanted it. He doesn't throw beach balls.
|
I felt like I tagged him pretty good, so that's what stunned me. I think Jason knew it, too. He started walking back to the dugout. Everyone makes mistakes.
|
I haven't done anything to hurt it, except play 150 games. I'll be back at first.

I hit that one good. He threw me a good split to start me off with. The encouraging side is I stayed back and went more off-speed conscious, and just kind of reacted to the fast ball. It's a good sign for me.

I remember missing balls and hitting them out that way. I can't believe they brought it in. That will be good for Jenks (Geoff Jenkins).

I talk to him every day. He's one of my better friends in the game. I talked to him two days ago and everything was fine. He was hitting the ball the other way. It felt like he was doing some of the things he used to do.

I think it was the right one. I think if deep down inside, he didn't feel like he could be the player that he was. I wish him the best.

I think you owe it to someone as a friend to try and talk them out of something like that. But you have to listen to what they are saying. After a while, his feelings really came through. Eventually I had to agree with him that it was the right thing to do.
|
I thought I got him pretty good, so that's what startled me. But the game's too long to blame on one play.
|
I was actually just looking for a fly ball there. That's really all we need, just tie the game,

I was on the phone with him for three hours last night. I tried to talk him out of it. We all did -- his dad (former big league catcher and manager Bob Boone) and his brother Aaron (the third baseman in Cleveland). We sort of ganged up on him, but he said his heart wasn't in it.
|
I was wondering why, when he left, he kind of got the boos. I wasn't really sure of why exactly,
|
I wonder what the qualifications are? ... Some guys don't seem to have missed much of last year.

I'd like to believe so. No one can ever say with certainty who's going to go to a World Series. But you have to come to the ballpark every day convinced you are going to win.
