Frank Robinson Hitting Quotations

Second pitch. Line drive off the center-field fence. Missed hitting a home run by a couple of feet. Double.

He has a track record with the Cardinals, and I know he didn't hit for them, but you have to give the hitting coach some credit, because he takes the blame when they don't hit.

You let that go by, all you're doing is creating more animosity on the other side. Hey, the guy gets hit after hitting a three-run homer, nothing happens. ... I think actually he let them get away with something there.

It was probably the best game he's pitched in the last five or six ball games. His knee is getting better each start, and he is getting back to where he normally would be: that is hitting the corners with his pitches and changing speeds.

Hopefully, he'll get three at-bats in a shorter period of time hitting at the top of the lineup.

He's locked in right now. He's hitting the ball to all fields.

I don't like the overall results. To say the effort is not there would be a little harsh, but we're not doing the things that we are capable of doing to get the results we need. We are not making plays, we are making errors, we are not making pitches like we should and we are not hitting in situations.
