You have to take care of the seconds. The minutes, the hours, and the days will take care of themselves.
You have to stay in the moment. Stay focused. Know what you're going to do.
My dad was big about talking about baseball and Latin players.
When things go bad, the best thing to do is keep working and keep coaching.
We have to stick together. That is what makes good teams.
I utilize my coaches. I value their opinions on a lot of things.
I prepared myself for years to be where I'm at now, and I try to focus on the here and now.
It wasn't until Joe Maddon called me in 2006 when I thought about pursuing a coaching career.
When a guy 275 pounds snaps, look out.
I've seen teammates who wanted to choke each other.
I love conversations, about anything.
Sometimes you need to have a tough conversation or face a tough situation, and take it head on.
Building relationships. Communicating. Trust. Those are three things I've kind of instilled myself with.
The one thing I've known and I've learned from the best managers, it's to stay positive.
Umpires are supposed to be non-confrontational - they're supposed to uphold the peace on the baseball field.
I was thinking it would be nice if I woke up and could play like Roberto Clemente.
I'm about as honest as I can get.
I'm never going to criticize any umpires or anything, because they're a big part of the game.
I've done everything I could as a bench coach. I'm ready to manage.
I've had many managers, and learned a lot from them, the good ones always stayed even-keeled, never rode the waves.
In my career, I finished in second place six times. I played on teams that were in it to the very end. It's frustrating.
In the heat of the moment things get blown out of hand.
It would be tremendous… I'd love to be part of winning a championship in Chicago.
It's all about communication, culture and competing every day.
My job is to be the bench coach with the Rays and help this team succeed. If another opportunity arises, I'd welcome the opportunity.
My kids would watch from the window and wave to me during batting practice.
Often, bumpy roads lead to beautiful places.
