He's not able to return as a patrol officer, because he still has weakness. He wouldn't be able to run after and apprehend a suspect.
breaking looked panicked run saw taught threw
You're taught to run at him every time. I panicked and threw the ball. I looked up and saw Rollins breaking and I threw the ball.
ball error gave hard rattled runs seen three tough understand worse
They gave him an error on that? That was a tough play. The ball was going away from him. How we were able to get three runs in that inning was hard to understand for us. But I don't think he was rattled after that play. When you're a closer, you've probably seen worse things that that.
ball base job maybe partly running second setup stop success
It was a frustrating day for me personally. I didn't get the ball to second base like I wanted to. It was partly my job to stop the running game, and I didn't have any success doing that. Maybe there's something I'm tipping off in my setup to keep him from running all over the place.

chance face good guy hit pitching trying
Here's this guy pitching so well, and he's already in mid-season form, and there's a good chance we're probably going to face him, so I'm trying to take some notes. It's going to take everything he has not to hit me.

I still can't believe it. What an awesome weekend. I don't know what's going on.
