"Sometimes you get hit somewhere in the hand and you take your batting glove to show you got hit. I was expecting to do the same thing." - Jose Altuve, reflecting on his ejection after removing his cleat and sock to prove a point about a foul ball on his foot.
"It's a foul ball. You have to see the ball once he hits the foot, the flight of the ball. I don't get it." - Manager Joe Espada, expressing frustration over the missed foul ball call that led to Altuve's ejection.
"In the ninth inning... I'm battling against a good pitcher... so I'm obviously trying to get a hit and drive the run in... I don't think that can happen." - Jose Altuve, discussing the pressure of the game after being ejected.
"They missed that call. I have a lot of respect for the umpires. They work hard... But there are four out there. You have to be able to see it." - Manager Joe Espada on umpire calls, emphasizing the need for better accuracy.
