I've gotten the bunt sign twice in seven years. I'm not sure why (Buford) changed the sign. Maybe he had some confidence in me. I'm glad he did.

I told him that I’d prefer him not to do that, ... He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we’re OK. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play.. ... He feels that’s part of his game in his mind. But, personally, no, I’d rather him swing the bat.

IT?S NOT AS EASY as putting up a sign. You really have to find an viable alternate route.

I haven't gotten a score like that in seven years. I've been waiting for a score like that my whole life, so it was kind of nice to get up there.

I'm not sure why he's doing it. Maybe he thinks he has more athleticism, maybe cover up some deficiencies, I don't know. It's been very effective so far and we're going to have to deal with that.
