At the minor-league and major-league level, you know how important your coaching staff is, but in a big market it becomes absolutely huge.

You look around baseball and when things go south, that type of fan apathy happens.

It's the age-old thing - it's such a cliche - but why worry about things you have no control over?

You make decisions and you're not going to please everybody all the time.

I always get a kick out of who is going to be the larger cheering section.

We've got to give a quality effort every day and play better.

Everyone knows the game is about the players.
