But Quade was equally upset at what he said were ‘‘comments at the end of the game that I thought were out of character to one of my hitters’’ by the umpires.

He didn’t elaborate, though the comment might have been made to rookie second baseman Darwin Barney, who struck out to end the game.

‘‘They wouldn’t say anything to a veteran player because I wouldn’t let them,’’ said Marlon Byrd, who led off the ninth with a single.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Quade has this red ass quality about him, but he gets a red ass about everything.
