You've got to acknowledge what you did wrong and see if you can fix it to the extent possible, and turn the page.

You can't manage by memo. You can't stand up there and just send out edicts. I think you just gotta really personalize your relationships.

If you seriously aspire to be a manager in the big leagues, there is a baseball 'book' that one must learn. Alongside that book, you must practice Spanish. Of 25 players on each roster, sometimes there are between eight and 15 players who speak Spanish.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.
