Eric Byrnes said his quick departure from the clubhouse following Tuesday’s 10-inning win had nothing to do with being unhappy with the media or D-backs fans. “It was just a long night,” he said. “Hopefully you guys in the media didn’t take it personally; it was just a long night, I had the family at home and I just wanted to get home.”

“I 100 percent understood,” Byrnes said of the boos. “I have no problem with it. The fans have high expectations, and they should. I feel like, in order for this team to be successful, we are all going to have to contribute, and that includes myself — and we haven’t gotten off to a great start. If they want to take out their frustrations out on me, I have no problem with that… It’s nothing I wish for, but at the same time, I have a lot of expectations for myself, so if I’m not meeting my own expectations, I’m not happy with myself either. So in a lot of ways, I feel the fans’ sentiment.”
