People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.
More Quotes from Frank Robinson:
You have to have a short memory as a closer.Frank Robinson
I want to get him in the lineup, I want to give us the best chance we can to win, ... Watching him have a couple of good at-bats, watching him field ground balls and things, I think he'll be all right there. I've been told he can play shortstop, so it's not really foreign to him. All I'm asking him to do is make the routine plays.

What am I going to say to him How to handle himself Swing a bat, be successful and drive some runs in tonight. That's how I want him to handle himself. Other than that, I don't feel I have to go in and talk to him about how to handle himself on a baseball field.

Keep it down Cuddly old Nationals manager Frank Robinson is at it again. He has banned music, cell phones and card playing in the clubhouse, believing that will help his players focus more on baseball. Robinson won't even let his team play music after they win. They asked, and I refused, ... I said 'No, you haven't done anything yet. Turn it on Oct. 1 or Oct. 3.'

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.
Frank Robinson
I don't like the overall results. To say the effort is not there would be a little harsh, but we're not doing the things that we are capable of doing to get the results we need. We are not making plays, we are making errors, we are not making pitches like we should and we are not hitting in situations.
