Frank Robinson Short 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.

We did have it, ... for a short while.

He was decent in a couple of spots. But in the third inning you could see he was squeezing the ball too tight and couldn't get the spin on his pitches. I wouldn't call it a bad outing, but a short one.

He has that mentality, ... You have to have a short memory as a closer.

This young man is special. He was learning about catching with no hesitation on his part. He's really come a long way in a short period of time. And then to have to tell him this, it was very difficult. But we need pitching more than anything else right now.

We got in that position because of injuries and don't think we didn't know we were short in the minor leagues. We knew that, but who is going to foresee injuries?

Sooner or later, Zimmerman's going to start three or four ballgames in a row, and Short may start two or three, Watson one or two, ... But basically, you're going to see the same guys that have been here finish out the season.

I like what I've seen from them, ... Zimmerman continues to impress, and Short has some pop in his bat to all fields.

I don't know if he's making a case to play every day, ... Right now, we are short in the outfield. He is doing very well and doing the job for us. If we keep winning, he'll be out there. He will have a job for about three more weeks and then he'll have to do it again during Spring Training.

I don't see him being back from this in the short period of time that's left. It's too bad.

The first time was much more severe, and he wasn't able to walk. I think this one will be kind of short term,
