The greatest manager has a knack for making ballplayers think they are better than they think they are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think every manager is different in their own way.
Of course managers win ball games.
As a whole, the managers today are different in temperament. Most have very good communication skills and are more understanding of the umpire's job. That doesn't mean they are better managers. It just means that I perceive today's managers a bit differently.
I am not saying I am the best manager in the world. But I'm quite good.
When you're winning games, everyone thinks everything the manager says and does is fantastic. Then it goes the other way, and those earlier criticisms of players can backfire.
The players make the manager, it's never the other way.
When you've been in the game as long as I have, you know the managers you've played for, the good ones and the bad ones. Even the good ones get fired.
A manager is not a person who can do the work better than his men; he is a person who can get his men to do the work better than he can.
There is no real limit to how much better a person who really commits to getting better can get. Every manager has the potential to become an excellent manager for the rest of his or her career.
Bad ballplayers make good managers.
