ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) a' Tampa Bay boss Joe Maddon closed the collection card for Joe Nathan's 300th career save yourself and gave it to the Texas Rangers closer. Maddon considers the touch routine for landmark football moments. This 1 ended up addressing his make an effort to move on after home plate umpire Marty Foster's rushed call on a game-ending strike three bailed out Nathan. Maddon blocked the umpires at their exit to the tunnel after Monday night's 5-4 loss, could be seen mouthing "That can't occur in a major category game" and tweeted the same task soon after the game. Significantly less than 24 hours later, he liked Foster knowing he missed the decision on the full-count message, both in a discussion with the director and a statement to journalists. He is really respected by "i a lot for examining in about that," Maddon said. "For me, for us, it is over with. I believe it shows a whole lot on his part." Major League Baseball decided Tuesday, with spokesman Mike Teevan saying by email that crew chief Tim Welke and Foster handled the situation correctly. Dan Zobrist said he was not upset once the call went against him. He was also stunned a' so surprised that he put your hands on his helmet and yanked it down, then somehow only gently put it on the floor. "I felt no anger whatsoever toward Marty or toward the call," said Zobrist, who thought he'd driven a walk that would carry Evan Longoria to the plate with the tying run at second base. "I was actually only questioning it like, 'How did you make that phone? What happened?'" The movie of an Zobrist and an incensed Maddon did not instantly resonate nationally as it came late in Louisville's victory over Michigan in the NCAA championship game. But it still made some rounds late Monday a Zobrist got his share of texts about it a' and was part of the thrill for national talk shows Tuesday. A bemused Zobrist observed a number of that from the Rays' clubhouse at Rangers Ballpark. Oh, and Zobrist said he slept fine. "It could have been tougher basically had swung a poor pitch," he explained. Nathan mentioned his postgame texts were all congratulatory for his milestone save a nothing about friends or family not thinking what they just found. It was not believed by him, since he was captured on camera declaring "wow" as he was met by catcher A.J. Pierzynski. But he'll go. "We aren't likely to see this as a huge break for since there will be some that opposed to us," Nathan said. "We'll take this as it is a ' a win." Nathan also was amazed to get the Rays' selection card, with Maddon producing "Congrats. Remarkable job. Keep it going!" before signing it. "Even though I understand he probably wasn't also excited by the phone call there at the conclusion, however nice enough of him to sign that combined with nice message," Nathan said. Longoria did not see what happened just because a ' like everybody else a he believed it was a ball and was planning for his at-bat. While he hopes the Rays do not end up one game from the playoffs at season's end, he was attempting to minmise the crisis in his own way. "The point that I type of told myself yesterday, though I like to believe that I've most of the confidence in the world in myself and being in a position to increase there and obtain a hit, it was not like the bases were loaded and a work was being obtained on that play," Longoria said. "We all make mistakes." Both parties agreed upon that.
