Frank Robinson Three Quotations

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.

He looked fine. When I look at him, the question is, is the knee holding up? So far, so good. He gets the day off tomorrow and we'll look and see if he wants to play another three games.

We have three more games to play and we have to win those three games,

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.

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.

Felix Rodriguez is gone for three games, that's automatic. I'm gone for one, that's automatic.

There would've probably been three or four moves today if we had the opportunity to do it.

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.

Coming to spring training and filling three spots in your starting rotation is not good. I don't care how you look at it.

It was right there for us the first three innings. We just didn't put Willis away.

It just goes to show you he's focused as far as his offense is concerned. The plays in the outfield, I tried to warn anybody who would listen, it's going to be a work in progress. He got a little lesson today, and if he learns from these things, that's what we want. We don't want him to make the same kind of mistakes two or three times.

It's going to be a work in progress. He got a little lesson today. We don't want to make the same kind of mistakes two or three times.

They were on a mission to win three ballgames. It's probably the first times this year we thought about sweeping a series before we played the first game, and we got it done.

I'm not going to walk him to lead off an inning. I don't walk anybody leading off an inning. I don't think there is anybody in the game I would ever walk leading off an inning, or walk him with the bases loaded to save three runs.

His arm wasn't right a lot of the season. Hopefully he can get this corrected once and for all. It's been three years now.

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.

Hopefully, he'll get three at-bats in a shorter period of time hitting at the top of the lineup.

If he's not on the ball club, you may have to carry an extra guy. So he makes a big difference in three different areas: catching, infielder or outfielder and a pitcher. He's going to affect the makeup of this ball club.

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