It was a long night for the umpires, too. I was only mad because he kept insisting he was right.

(Manager) Bob Melvin gave me a lot of freedom to run. He basically gave me the green light to go whenever I wanted to. Plus I played a lot more than I ever have, and hitting leadoff really helped.

You know it's really not a lot different, second base versus shortstop. You still pick up the ball and throw it to first base. Try to keep it simple.

We had chances. (Martinez) struggled with his command and that got the pitch count up pretty fast but you've got to get that hit that brings in some runs. We just couldn't get it.

I've got to rest it. My spring training is going to be shorter, for sure. But we got it figured out far enough in advance, where I think I can get the shoulder strong, and be all right by the time opening day comes around.

Oh, my God. What the heck did we do?
