00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:28.920
There are times that every hitter goes through it, I have them, and sometimes managers react

2
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.760
to that slump in different ways.

3
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.780
It's up to the manager to know the particular ball player and know his thinking about how

4
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:37.800
to handle the situation.

5
00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:43.360
As soon as you go into a slump, personally speaking, I come out of it.

6
00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:59.440
I think it really depends a lot on our young pitching staff, Kruko and Dennis Lamp and

7
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:00.300
guys like that.

8
00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:03.940
We've got a good defensive ball club, we've got a good offensive ball club, and if we

9
00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:08.380
can just get those guys to come around like they should, I don't see why not, maybe.

10
00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:28.320
We've got some looks for him too, Jack.

11
00:01:41.380 --> 00:01:47.940
The manager plays a very big part in a winning ball club.

12
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.020
As far as, of course, every ball player is different, I should say that, as far as, and

13
00:01:53.020 --> 00:01:54.920
this is the same as, no two managers are the same.

14
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.140
Personally speaking, there have been managers in my past that know me, know what to expect

15
00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:06.180
of me, and there are those who didn't understand me, and it presented problems.

16
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:11.380
I know I've got a very good rapport with Herman, and I think we're going to work very well

17
00:02:11.380 --> 00:02:11.680
together.
