Zitat des Tages von Don Mattingly:
The players get no respect around here. They give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.
I definitely want to manage. I just don't think it's the time right now.
We all have the temptation to be backseat drivers when it comes to decisions that don't work out the way we want.
Nobody can see into the future. Nobody knows what going to go on.
Honestly, at one time I though Babe Ruth was a cartoon character. I really did, I mean I wasn't born until 1961 and I grew up in Indiana.
I'm not afraid of criticism or what somebody may think.
I want to be on the field. It's a better place to talk to the guys. It's a relaxed atmosphere. You want to make sure you know what's going on, not just with the hitters.
I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.
I'd like to say this was our worst game. Unfortunately, I can't.
I have had many occasions this year where I questioned and second-guessed my decision in a game, but it comes down to learning from mistakes and being accountable for what you did right or did wrong.
If you don't second-guess yourself, then you are not trying to get better.
When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.
