"I was trying to give a correct answer to the umpire's explanation. I think I was basically just stating the rules at home plate. And I said one last thing out of frustration, or being all fired up, and it was complete nonsense."
"I didn't watch the replay. Like I said, I saw it from a great angle. The umpire couldn't have been better with balls and strikes. I'm sure he got it, technically, right. But it's a play that I've got a lot of history for, and I was a little frustrated."
