southsider2k5 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm (Robin) not always agreeable with everything (with Kenny). He has to be able to tell him what he is feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 You can see every pitch you have ever seen in your whole career, and sometimes that can be overwhelming. Sometimes you can pick up more from watching the games on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 As you get older, your off season changes (talking about Dunn). You can talk him. He first needs to clear his head, and down the road they will look at everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) Terry kind of led Robin into a comment that makes it sound like it was the White Sox idea to have him manage -- not Robin's. I thought Robin made that pretty clear on yesterday's call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 "I'm not one to yell at everyone that I am going to demand respect. We are all going to be held accountable, me included." respect is earned. Will have to say things that people do not want to hear, or won't like. Won't have problems telling players things they won't like. Respects game too much not to. Won't do it publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hear the call. I'm surprised they're so open about this part of the whole thing. Not a huge deal on its own, but it'd be a big thing when part of the media battle you have to wage is how motivated to manage your new manager is going to be.

Princess Dye Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) if you vehemently hate Cowley on this then -if logically consistent- you support gun control laws. b/c Cowley is the weapon, Ozzie is the one firing the shots. though that leaves me nowhere since i hate all aspects/sides of the situation Edited October 7, 2011 by Princess Dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Robin sounded so f***ing clueless in that interview. Lawrence: "Do you have any idea what you're looking for in a staff?" (clearly talking about coaching) Robin: "Well, it'd be really easy to say I'd like 25-game winners." After Robin goes on for 3-5 minutes about wanting good pitchers, and wanting Mark Buehrle back, Law tries again... Lawrence: "Have you given thought to who you'd like to have on your coaching team?" Robin: "Oh well, that's something Jerry, Kenny, and I will have to discuss." GMAFB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Me too. I suspect that is one of the things he will get better at with experience. Handling the media is an important part of the job, but the media loved Ozzie, and look what that got us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a few weeks to get used to being addressed and interviewed as a manager...honestly, who gives a s*** how he comes off in these first few interviews? He said the staff is something they will discuss amongst themselves. I don't really understand what's lacking in that answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
