More Quotes from Roberto Hernandez:
He told us that the last four or five years, he sat back and watched the Pittsburgh Pirates from the opponents' bench and he couldn't (understand) why a team with so much talent couldn't reach its talent level -- or strive to reach it.

The shouting is going to be up to the coaches, if it happens. But, when you lose, 3-0, 3-2, and you're facing a lot of good pitching, what are you going to say We haven't won much, and I understand that gets magnified. But the effort is there consistently. Besides, this game's played on the field.
