An Interview with Manager Earl Weaver prior to last night's (4/14) game

Reporter: May I have an interview with you Mr. Weaver before tonight's game?

Weaver: Sure. Have a seat.

Reporter: Would you say that you are an emotional leader or a decision maker?

Weaver: I'm more of a decision maker.

Reporter: Are you more of an optimist or more of a problem solver?

Weaver: Neither one, probably, although I will give the veterans every chance to work their way out of a slump.

Reporter: Would you say that you favor a set lineup or a rotation system?

Weaver: I love to platoon players based on matchups but right now my lineup is basically a set one.

Reporter: Do you prefer good offensive players or do you like glove men?

Weaver: I prefer either one or the other. Sometimes you're lucky enough to get a player who is both, but more times than not they are either one or the other. Years ago, I had players like Paul Blair, Mark Belanger and Rick Dempsey. They were defensive specialists in my mind.

Reporter: Do you like an offense based on power, speed, or high averages?

Weaver: Power.

Reporter: Do you try to use the entire roster or do you keep people sitting on the bench?

Weaver: I try to define roles for the players and use everybody.

Reporter: Do you like a big-inning offense or do you like to use one-run strategies?

Weaver: I am probably the most outspoken person in favor of the big inning that you will ever find.

Reporter: Do you pinch-hit much and if so, when?

Weaver: In the past I used stack my bench with extra first basemen and outfielders so that I could pinch-hit for one of my many defensive specialists that would be in my lineup at times.

Reporter: Do you use the sacrifice bunt often?

Weaver: No. I hate to bunt. Each of the 27 outs in a game is precious and I don't like to give outs away.

Reporter: Do you like to use a running game?

Weaver: No.

Reporter: In what circumstances would you use an intentional walk?

Weaver: Whenever there's a blizzard in hell.

Reporter: Do you hit and run?

Weaver: No.

Reporter: Do you like power pitchers or pitcher who tend to put the ball in play?

Weaver: I like pitchers who throw strikes.

Reporter: Would you stay with a starter or do you go to the bullpen more quickly?

Weaver: I'll stay with my starters for as long as I can.

Reporter: Do you use a four man rotation or do you go with the five man rotation that is used around the majors?

Weaver: I use a four man rotation. I think that it is easier to find four guys who can pitch than it is five.

Reporter: Do you try to use the entire staff or do you try to get five or six people to do most of the work?

Weaver: I try to get as many innings as I can out of my front four (starters).

Reporter: What would you say are your strongest points as a manager?

Weaver: Intelligence, intensity, patience and an understanding of how an offense works.

The "National Anthem" starts to play in the background.

Reporter: I'm sorry sir. I've kept you too long.

Weaver: That's okay. It happens all the time.

Thanks.

I found the questions for my "interview" from the book "Baseball's Greatest Managers" by Bill James.

How did you like the interview and how do you like the play-by-play for the games? I try to give the readers a feeling that they have a seat right at the ballpark (or other sports venues.)
