Be anything you want to be, but don't be dull.
Managers don't have as much leverage as they used to have. We can't really be the boss.
Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.
All in all, I wouldn't call it a bad outing. It was a short outing.
I had no trouble communicating, the player's just didn't like what I had to say.
But I'm not going to walk Barry Bonds, like some teams do, in the first inning with nobody on.
