 As a manager , he was a strict disciplinarian , possibly a result of his military background . Carroll " Dink " <unk> maintained that " Rogan wanted to run the ball club like they did it in the army . He liked to give orders too much , even before he was managing . He used to bawl players out for different things . I could take it , but we had ball players , when he 'd get on them , they 'd go into a shell , resented it , and didn 't give him their best . " Another Monarchs pitcher , Chet Brewer , said that " Rogan wasn 't the best manager because he was such a great ball player himself . He couldn 't teach pitchers much , because he 'd say , ' All you have to do is go out and throw the man what I threw ' . " According to historian Phil Dixon , " In Rogan 's first few years as manager he was reluctant to pinch @-@ hit for many of the veterans on his roster because they were his friends . " He didn 't trust younger players , often inserting himself to pitch or pinch @-@ hit for them . He sometimes treated rookies harshly . Eventually Rogan " discarded his distant approach " and became increasingly known for teaching and developing less experienced players .
