death-row come back come back to
first.
I'll kick off Murphy's glove and
just instincts tell you to go.
And so I as I'm running I kind
of look back to see what had
happened behind me and wasn't
expecting Walters to be there
with the ball.
And so I'm running to suck it
and watch in what's going on
behind me.
Throws the ball.
It's pretty directly at my head.
And so I just got my head and it
hit me in the head you know and
so I had to sack Rob Drake calls
me out.
I don't really know what the
rule is.
I definitely did not try to get
out of the way.
I'm not going to say that I
really deviated too much from my
path.
You know the ball's literally
coming right at my head so I
ducked in.
I know the odds really aren't in
my favor in that situation.
And so naturally ####weed is
like it and see what was in a
good spot.
And obviously I showed that out
there today.
But I'm just I'm passionate.
I'm going to fight.
I'm a battle for the things that
I believe in.
That's just who I am.
I've known Rob Drake a long time
and he's a great umpire.
He's a fantastic umpires.
Want to start by saying that
it's just truly a judgment call.
And he gave me an explanation
and I respect that.
And I obviously disagreed with
it and took the conversation a
little bit too far.
So I want to leave the comments
on field that's between me and
the players and Rob.
But you know it's just clear one
of the situations where I didn't
feel like Cole had intent to try
to get hit by the ball and he
did.
And what's going easy.
Umpires at the final say.
And I respect that.
