Mattingly said, “Hopefully, I get a chance to see him, Frank always — my interaction [with him] was great. Obviously, I read the papers and I'm not blind to what went on here. But for me personally, it's been a good relationship.”
He added, “I always go back to, 'Treat people the way you're treated, You try to treat everyone with respect, there's a different vibe in the stands, you can feel a different energy with people, If we don't put up wins, that vibe is not going to be that great.”
