Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Your job as a baseball player is to come to the park ready to play every day, and the manager, it's his job to make those decisions about who plays.
That's all baseball is, is numbers; it's run by numbers, averages, percentage and odds. Managers make their decisions based on the numbers.
If I had any interest in coming back to baseball, it would be as a general manager and not as a manager.
Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life.
A baseball manager is a necessary evil.
Pitchers really don't deal with the managers a whole lot. When we come in the clubhouse, we see him, we say, 'Hey.' That's really it.
Baseball is a team game.
Building a baseball team is like building a house. You look for the best architects, the best builders - and then you let them do their jobs.
In my opinion, baseball is as big a business as anything there is. It has to be a business, the way it is conducted.
If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.
