Frank Robinson Handle Quotations

If they can get through their normal-type games, going deep into the game, we'll be able to handle the weekend with the people we have right here.

We don't seem to be able to handle pitchers we don't know. First-time guys, we seem to struggle with them. We're just not swinging the bats very well right now.

We don't seem to be able to handle any pitchers we don't know well. He mixed up his pitches pretty good. He moved it around. Still, we weren't very selective or very patient at the plate against him.

What am I going to say to him? How to handle himself? Swing a bat, be successful and drive some runs in tonight. That's how I want him to handle himself. Other than that, I don't feel I have to go in and talk to him about how to handle himself on a baseball field.

When a guy is maybe on the lower end of the pain threshold, we have a tendency to maybe be a little critical of him and say what he should do and what he should be able to do. All I know is an individual knows himself and he knows what he is able to handle as far as pain is concerned.

I'm looking forward to when it counts to see how this team reacts. I think we'll handle it very well.

How did I handle it? If he hit me, I went to first base. If he didn't, I got up and was more determined that he wasn't going to get me out. And if I went to first base, there was a bull's-eye on the shortstop, there was a bull's-eye on the second baseman.
