What did I do to deserve this?

I'm not afraid of criticism or what somebody may think.

I've wanted to manage a long time and I've been moving in that direction.

I want to be on the field. It's a better place to talk to the guys. It's a relaxed atmosphere. You want to make sure you know what's going on, not just with the hitters.

You never know who’s watching.

I like being close to the bats.

I have had many occasions this year where I questioned and second-guessed my decision in a game, but it comes down to learning from mistakes and being accountable for what you did right or did wrong.
