four game lose manager managing players playoff respect team thrown
I've only been thrown out four times in my career, not my managing career. If I get tossed from the game, I think I let the team down. If a manager is not there in a playoff game I think you lose the respect of your team. I need my players and my players need me.
baseball bench bobby cox everybody manager says
Every manager in baseball does what I did. The day after you clinch, you play your bench guys. (Atlanta manager) Bobby Cox does it and he's a genius. I do it and everybody says I don't know what I'm doing.
field handle man teach
There's nothing better than to be around that man because he will teach you how to handle things on the field and off the field.
drives four hero manager needs runs somebody step tonight
We're up by four runs and then we're up by one run. It drives the manager crazy. Rowand had a big night. From now on somebody needs to step up and be a hero every game. Tonight it was Rowand.

I think I'll be the first manager to catch a first pitch in the World Series,
believe best came chances decision guys manager playoff ready sorry weeks
We have two weeks to make a decision on playoff roster. He doesn't have to show me. He's got to show his teammates. You don't have to show me anything. I didn't come here to make friends. I came here to be the best manager I can. You got to make those guys believe you are ready to go. If you're not ready to go, I'm sorry and I'll take my chances in a different way.
deserves handle man obviously
I feel for him. I think this man deserves to be there; obviously he's not. Hopefully, Minnie will know how to handle this and keep working for baseball.
happy jackie latin lived man people puerto robinson
For me he is the Jackie Robinson of Latin baseball. He lived racism. He was a man who was happy to be not only Puerto Rican, but Latin American. He let people know that. And that is something that is very important for all of us.
anyone easy manage players type win
It's not easy to manage right now because there are a lot of players making big money, a lot of players with attitudes. The type of players I have in my clubhouse, those are the type of players that anyone can win with.
feeling great hot manager players playoff respect team type worried
They are the type of team you don't want in the playoff because they can get hot and kill you. I don't want to say it's a great feeling because I respect the manager and the players over there, but I have been worried about them all summer.
best deserves hope keeps man shot white wish
This is the only shot he's going to have, and I feel for him. I think this man deserves to be there. I wish him the best and hope he keeps working for the White Sox and baseball.

I have to respect the other manager of the other team, and when your job is manager, I let the guys enjoy themselves and celebrate with the winning.
hard man says works
I like the man because I think he works hard for the country. I don't say I like his ideas. I don't say I like the way he is. I just said I like the man because he works hard and he says what he thinks.
bat chance drop gave great hands himself hit home last man twice
I'm not going to take the bat out of his hands like I did last year. He gave himself up once or twice a game, and that's why I want to drop him down in the lineup. He is a great RBI man and this will give him a chance to hit more home runs.
