fan hurts takes
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.

The fans want to see a good product. This is a young organization - it hasn't been around 50 years like others. It's going to take time for the Miami area to build up a huge fan base.
exciting fans fun
I want the fans to know we're going to be an exciting and fun team. We're going to play hard.
bounce fans guys smart today win
Young guys bounce back. Fans are smart enough to know you're not going to win every game. I think everyone that was here today will be back at some point.

The only way that as a manager or as a player that we can change that is for our club to play better and for people to enjoy watching our club. My job is to get our club to win, whether there's one fan in the stands or 60,000. People like winners.

We are going to lose some close games, but fans have to be sure that we'll bring our best game every night.

I believe Marlins fans will enjoy the style of this team, which is young, but that doesn't mean that it's bad.

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.
concerned daily deal hear issues none personal tend upset voice worries
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.

In his first start, and what he's been through this spring, I didn't feel it was in his best interest to go back out there.

I know that Jeffrey and Larry will do the best they can to get me the best product on the field. We're not exactly sure what the team is going to be, but I know they're going to give me a winner.

I like his approach to the plate. It's conducive to a number two.
