I don't care if we ever throw the ball. I'm Woody Hayes. I didn't realize that (we didn't complete a pass). That's shocking.

[8.] Do you realize, ... that if your ball is hanging on the lip of the hole, you only have 10 seconds to putt it in [16-2]? Sometimes, you can even see it rolling forward, but you have to putt it in 10 seconds, or it's one shot [penalty]. So they're telling you to hit a ball that's moving, which is also illegal.

We have got to take better care of the ball. You can't win when you turn the ball over and shoot like that.

I don't care how well you throw if your guys are terrible at unloading the ball and holding guys on, ... so it's a joint effort. But it's like Mike [Matheny] was, and like Pudge Rodriguez. He's an intimidating weapon. Guys don't run very much against him. It's a heck of a weapon for your side.

He's missed one free throw in 14 months. We like to have the ball in his hands.

I was getting in position to throw to second when the ball stayed down. I just didn't get the hop I was anticipating. After it hit the top of my glove, I was just trying to make sure I could get one out. I don't know if we could've turned the double play, but I would like to have found out.
