Dusty Baker Quotes on Night (5 Quotes)

Guys get a chance to get more rest. You play most of your games on the road at night. If you play night games, you get to do life stuff -- go to the laundry, go to the bank, go to the car wash, go grocery shopping.

I talked to Lawton last night, and he said this is the first time he's been in a playoff situation. He's looking forward to it, and he told me he was sorry he didn't help us and play better while he was here. I told him to enjoy it -- he picked up a lot of games in the standings.
