Phil Garner Nobody Quotations

Most teams love seeing the bases loaded, nobody out. We seem to have a little trouble with it. We fought in the game, though. We had other opportunities, perhaps, to do some things. We just couldn't break through.

Nobody would've projected him to be as good as he's been. It also leads you to believe that as smart as we are sometimes, maybe it's better sometimes to let players play just to see. Sometimes guys surprise you. Sometimes you misread a player, you just don't know how he's going to respond under pressure situations.

That tells the story. That seems to be our biggest problem. We hate seeing the bases loaded. Most teams love seeing the bases loaded with nobody out. We seem to have a little trouble with it.

It's like that 600-pound gorilla sitting in the room that nobody wants to talk about. If you keep going too many innings without scoring runs, everybody starts trying to do too much in one bat. And that's when you get in trouble.

You could call it that. I hope nobody knows about him for a while. If nobody pays attention, you can quietly go about doing your job.
