Frank Robinson Side Quotations

You're told by the umpire that you're allowed to pitch inside. What does that do? You're allowed to pitch inside until we feel like in our minds that you're throwing at someone intentionally. How do you know when that is?

If you have nothing to say then say it, ... It's no big deal. I can't get inside his head.

What I think they've done the last three days is play the way they're capable of playing. Their attention is now on baseball itself and not a lot of outside stuff, and it's starting to show up on the field.

A pitcher can be the leader among the pitchers and be there for anyone who wants to approach him. But he is not that one guy who will go to a hitter and get in his face. Sometimes you need a leader and arms of that leader on the pitching staff, bullpen and the reserves. A position player can cross the line and doesn't mind going over to talk to the pitchers. But pitchers are kind of hesitant to go over to the offensive side of it.

We have to pay attention to details right now, and hopefully we can keep going, ... I just think they had to get down to business. They had to pay attention to the game itself and not all this side stuff and the stuff out on the street. They have to focus on playing baseball. That was my view of it. And I think they are starting to get that feel.

I'm just on the side looking at it, the runs are going up on the board. But I don't know what it is or why.

What you really want to accomplish is to have your side heard. What we will benefit from right now is we will have his services for now, until the hearing itself.

What you really want is to have your side heard. You just hope they will understand your side and maybe you can get a reduction in your suspension.

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.
