He has the green light when he's up there leading off an inning. He's a good fastball pitcher. It's up to him if he wants to take a pitch.
He said it about six or seven times, ... Brinkman is the one who deserves a suspension.
Who's it going to be? ... We don't have other starters here.
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.
I don't see why you reporters keep confusing Brooks (Robinson) and me. Can't you see that we wear different numbers.
It's nice to come into a town and be referred to as the manager of the Cleveland Indians instead of as the first black manager.
I don't see anyone playing in the major leagues today (1982) who combines both the talent and the intensity that I had. I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.
We took a huge step backward when it looked like we would gain ground.
We have to be patient a little longer with what we have. How much longer? I can't tell you right now. Certainly, we can't get ourselves buried to the point where we can't dig ourselves out of it if we get on a hot streak.
We did nothing offensively to win that ballgame. You can't gain ground on anyone by losing.
Usually in a game like that you hope for one good shot against a guy like that and we got it. With the bases loaded and nobody out you expect to get something out of it. We couldn't have asked for anything better with our heart of the order coming up. We had the people we wanted coming to the plate.
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.
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.
The only way you have success over the course of the season is if you can go through your rotation and get quality starts, at least from four of them, three times in a row.
