Sorry but your goal should be to win. Even if you don't think you're really going to.
It should always be the goal.

You do know what he is trying to say right? The whole idea this year is to have the motto opposite of the "all in" from last year. He is the captain and the vet of this team making sure that there is zero pressure since there will be youth infused in this team as well as a few guys like dunn and rios who struggled, its called misdirection.

From that excerpt, it sounds like Sveum values moral victories just as much as actual wins.

I don't think it's so much a moral victory as it is knowing that you at least gave it your best shot. But maybe for some folks, they're the same thing. I do think that he wants the best effort no matter what, which is all you can really ask as you can't always control where the ball's going to bounce.

That's true. I do believe he has the right approach and attitude as a manager. Castro seems to have taken a liking to him, so that's a really positive first sign. I think he'll do well.

It's hard to stick to a motto when you play 162 games in a season. Just go out and play everyday like it's your last game. Much easier said than done.
