Hampton: Seriously Coop, what did I ever do to you?
Coop: What are you talking about?
Hampton: I know some of the bench guys need to get some playing time, but all of them, tonight, while I'm pitching?
Coop: Respect my authoritaayy.
Hampton: Huh?
Coop: Well, if you don't let them hit the ball, then it really won't be a problem now will it?
Hampton: That's not exactly the way it works Coop. Plus, a little run support would be nice as well.
Coop: You call yourself a hitter, so go hit.
Hampton: With all due respect Coop [interrupted]
Coop: With all due respect nothing. This team is two games above .500 because of ME. You don't like it, you can join Ortiz on the bench after 2 1/3 or Paulino in Round Rock.
Hampton: WTF?
Coop: Remember now, my door is always open.
