Sometimes you've got to be a little flexible. For the most part, it's hard to get players to look at the big picture also. I understand that. They're looking at their next start or their next at-bat.
Once players have my trust, they have it.
I thought, 'OK, I'm done here. I'll take responsibility and go away.' Little did I know I was going to be going away limping because someone cut my legs out from under me.
I miss him already. He's a good friend of mine.
How David hit that ball out I don't know. I didn't think anyone could hit one of there tonight.
