Instant replay ought to be thrown out. Period. It's a game of imperfections. Why is that so bad for the game? Really, I think they are trying to make the game perfect. I'll tell you what: It will never, ever be perfect.

I don't think perfect is interesting. I think what makes life exciting is the imperfections.

I'd love to stay in baseball, but I won't beg. I'd love to work with young umpires. I think I could teach them, help them develop. I can spot flaws, help them get over the hump. You're striving for perfection every game, yet you never achieve it. If baseball wants me, I'm available.

I think the world is crumbling when I have a bad game.

If you don't need umpires out there, and you can put robots out there, then why do we need ballplayers?

You play 20 games, you have one bad game, I think any team in this league will live with that.
