00:00Welcome back to Chicago. This is from the previous pitching change.

00:05Tori Lovello with Cattell Marte in tears on the pitcher's mound, waiting for the reliever to come in,

00:11consoling Cattell Marte, who was in tears.

00:15Cattell Marte in tears, kneeling down behind second base, being consoled by his teammates.

00:21Now we can only speculate as to what bad news that Cattell has received,

00:25but he was very emotional out there as Beeks comes in to face Austin Slater, the pinch hitter,

00:32and Slater batting for Rojas, flies out.

00:34No idea why Cattell was in tears there during the pitching change.

00:39He might be upset about his teammate, Ildemaro Vargas, suffering a broken foot earlier in the game,

00:44but that was unusual.

00:46Yeah, it was a terrible moment.

00:49But fans are nasty, and fans go too far sometimes.

00:56And I love my players, and I'm going to protect them.

01:05Your protection starts way before today, though.

01:08You guys go so far.

01:09We were talking on the air.

01:11I know you're a father figure to him, are you not?

01:13Right, yeah.

01:14Yeah, you know, I've known Cattell for nine years, and he's had some unbelievably great moments

01:21and some hardships as well and some really, really tough moments in his life, and I know those.

01:28And at the end of the day, we're human beings, and we have emotions, and I saw him hurting,

01:33and I want to protect him.

01:34Can you tell us what you told him?

01:36I love you, and I'm with you, and we're all together, and you're not alone.

01:40And no matter what happens, no matter what was said or what you heard, that guy's an idiot

01:46and shouldn't have an impact on you.
