At the time Hamilton said, &#8220;It was a stupid play. The whole time the ball was in the air, the coach was yelling, &#8216;Go, there&#8217;s no one at home,&#8217; and I was thinking, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to do this, something is going to happen.&#8217; &#8220;But I listened to my coach. It was way too aggressive. Maybe if they had both been closer to me, but they had a perfect angle to cut me off, and the only way to avoid a tag in that situation is to go head first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Today Hamilton backed off a bit and apologized to his third-base coach Dave Anderson. &#8220;I apologized to him for letting my emotions get out and getting ahead of myself and letting my emotions show through. I could have taken a better route as far as cooling down before I spoke. I see where I need to take responsibility for it. I appreciate Dave in having confidence in my ability that I could make that play. I was just frustrated moreso for getting injured.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Rangers Josh Hamilton, who was MVP of the league last season, has broken his arm sliding headfirst into home plate and may be sidelined&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-stories","category-uncategorized","wpcat-79-id","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1585"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1589,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585\/revisions\/1589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
