Frank Robinson Next Quotations

We know why we came up short today and hopefully we can take advantage of 12 hits and score more runs the next time we get 12 hits. I hope it's not August.

Let's see what has kept this guy where he's been, ... Is he a usable part for next year?

He had a live arm, but he couldn't find the strike zone. You expect him to be a little sharper, but he'll throw better the next time out.

Who knows? No decision is going to be made as to whether he is going to play second base or left field today, tomorrow, the next day or when he comes back. Those decisions will be made before we leave Florida.

We certainly know we're going to lose him for the next two to three weeks, that's for sure. And with that type of absence from spring training, there's no way he can open the season.

You get up, you go to first base, you come back up and hit against the guy the next time and you do some damage with the bat. Those days are over.

You feel especially good inside when the kids go out there and do a job for you. This team is probably going to have a different face on it by the time we see it next year opening day.

Every Opening Day is special to me. When they don't become special to you, it's time for you to get out of the game. You get butterflies, and can't wait to get started. You look forward to it from the time the season ends until the next Opening Day.

It's already out there now. It's just like it happened last year, one guy starts to complain about it, the next guy picks it up a few games later when they hit a ball pretty decent. Then it starts to spread. To say management doesn't care about winning, that's way off base.

The next step is to write his name in the lineup for Wednesday's game and see if he will show up in Jupiter and go out and play the outfield.

It's inconsistency. One game we look like we are ready to go get it started and the next day we come out and we fall right back into a rut. It's inconsistency. We are not producing a consistent offense.

I wanted to take a look at him at shortstop. It could work, but I don't know the next time he'll be out there.

If I had my druthers, I'd get a multiyear contract, for the next three years, and then that would be enough managing,
