Willie Randolph Base Quotations

I coached third base for 10 years and I don't second-guess my third base coaches.

I've coached third base for 10 years and I don't second-guess my third-base coach, ... It was a tough decision. I didn't tell him to tell him to go. You have to ask the guy that sent him.

It was good to see him relax a little bit and get going. Obviously, spring training is not the best barometer for how you base these guys but, you know, he was 0-for-20 or whatever and he had a couple knocks so that's why you don't put a lot of emphasis on games like this because you can turn it around in one day.

I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that, ... He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're O.K. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play. But he feels that's part of his game in his mind. But personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat.
