I'd be an aggressive manager. Prepared, with a focus on pitching and defense. |
I'll talk to him, but I don't want to take away from anyone's focus, ... The most important thing is to win tonight. |
I'm a pretty upbeat guy. I tend to throw a lot of praise around. |
I'm going to be tested in a lot of different ways. Because of the youth we have, we're going to have a lot of situations that we go through as a club. We're going to be tested. |
I'm going to be tested in a lot of different ways. We came into camp assuming that the players didn't know anything. |
I'm not a big fan of doubleheaders. I think it takes a lot out of your players. It not only hurts them that day but it hurts them down the road. |
I'm not necessarily saying that either. |
I'm not sure what he'll do, ... but I know Joe will be professional about whatever he does and will be a gentleman like always. |
I'm not upset with him. I just want to hear his voice that he's OK. |
I'm sure this will be a day he will remember. And this will be a day he will move on from and learn from. He's a special kid, though. He will bounce back. I'm not too worried about Hanley. |
I'm very concerned about it. None of us know what it is like to be Pokey Reese, the issues he's had to deal with on a daily basis. I'm not upset with him. I am just worried. We all have personal things that we have to tend to. I'm just concerned that he's OK. It worries me. I just want to hear his voice that he's OK. |
I'm very excited about the young talent in that room. |
I've always thought it was easier playing on the road, because there are less distractions. It's you and your teammates. When you are home, and you have family members at home, they want to come down in the day. They need hotel rooms. There is just a lot less distractions. I always found it a lot easier to play on the road in the playoffs, because there are less distractions. |
I've been reading press clippings about what I can do and what I couldn't do for a long time. That's just the nature of the business. ... Forecasts are forecasts. It's forecast to rain today, probably, but that doesn't mean it's going to. What matters is what we think about ourselves. |
If I was to get the Tampa job, I'm not inheriting five guys that can hit 30 home runs. I'm inheriting a lot of guys who have to do the little things. |
