* Mac tries to disuade Billy from appointing himself as manager, pointing out the complicated in-game situations managers need to deal with. Billy tells Mac to give him one.
-->'''Mack:''' We’re playing the Yankees. No one out. Scales is on first, great speed. Lou’s up. 2-1 count. Abbott’s on the mound, lefty. Lonnie’s on deck, and remember he’s a switch hitter. What do you do?\\
'''Billy:''' ''[thinking]'' What’s the score?\\
'''Mack:''' Tie game.\\
'''Billy:''' What inning? Home or away?\\
'''Mack:''' 8th. Home.\\
'''Billy:''' Who’s catching? Who’s rested in the bullpen? Who’s up in the 9th for the Yankees?\\
'''Mack:''' Stanley. Everyone. 7-8-9.\\
'''Billy:''' Okay. I let Lou hit away. With Mattingly holding Scales, he’s got that big hole to hit through.\\
'''Mack:''' No. See, that’s what I’m talking about. You got lefty against lefty. Lou’s a good bunter. You only need one run, so you sacrifice the go-ahead run to 2nd with only one out.\\
'''Billy:''' No. You sacrifice him to second, they walk Lonnie and bring in Steve Farr to pitch to Spencer. So you’ve taken the bat out of two best hitters, our 3 and 4 men. And you’ve got Spencer, a righty with no speed against Farr and his palm ball. Which means…\\
'''Mack:''' [[OhCrap Double play.]] (a pause) You could pitch hit for Spencer.\\
'''Billy:''' Now you’ve taken the bat out of our 3, 4, and 5 hitters. Not exactly a great trip through the heart of our order.\\
'''Arthur Goslin:''' Any questions, Mack?\\
'''Mack:''' Yeah. What’s he need me for?”
