Frank Robinson Played Quotations

Would it be fair to put him out there ahead of these other guys who have played those positions for quite some time?

They were on a mission to win three ballgames. It's probably the first times this year we thought about sweeping a series before we played the first game, and we got it done.

The way we played and have been playing is what prompted the meeting. I don't like the overall results. We're not doing the things we're capable of doing.

A lot of guys said he was off the wall, he's crazy. I found him to be a guy with a lot of energy. He played the game hard. He just wanted to go out and play. Sometimes his emotion got in the way. He would lose control and tear things. I talked to him and reasoned with him. I listened to him. We developed a fondness for each other. I admire him for the way he goes about his work.

The frustration starts when we played like we played last night and then we come out and play like we did today. I don't know what it is. I just can't figure this team out.

Of course it matters, ... I'm going to put a kid at a position he hasn't played when I have other people, other options? I wouldn't do it to him, number one.

We haven't put everything together for any length of time. Maybe when the bell rings and we start for real, we can put it together. A lot of these guys haven't played together. It's going to take a while for the chemistry to come together, but this team has the ability to do that, to come together as a team. But, again, that comes from winning and enjoying the game.
