Jackie Moore Quotations

With the schedule and the number of games left and the way the teams are matched up, it's going to be a fight the rest of the year. That's the way it should be. That's what this time of year is all about, the excitement of baseball and trying to win the pennant.

One outing his velocity will be up and he'll struggle with control and his changeup, but last outing he put it all together, ... It's a huge step forward for Carlos and the organization.

If we get him back before the year's over, it will be a miracle.

I got a little spoiled at the Double-A level, where the team you get is the team you'll probably have for the rest of the year, ... You want to win, but we're here to develop players.

He's come a long way in a short time that last outing. It will be very interesting to see if he can back it up his next outing. It brought back a lot of fond memories.

He was rusty. But velocity-wise he was about 91 (mph). He just pitched an inning, but he's out there and healthy and that's a step forward for him.

It didn't seem like that long ago we were like seven games back.

We live in Manhattan. Where else can you be more affected?

We could have used him in the middle of that lineup, ... There's a reason he has 100 RBIs. One swing of his bat, like all year, he turns the game around for us.

We've come a long way in a short time, ... It's been a total team effort, from the offense to the pitching.

We've had a lot of guys step up and guys we didn't know much about. Basically, everybody's been picking up the load. It's all been about mixing and matching.

Every outing, especially his last outing in Nashville, he looked like the Carlos of the past,

It was very nervous but we are very, very proud. It's overwhelming. We are glad he's still going to be here and part of our lives.

This is his time of year. He heats up and picks the club up and takes it. He's getting a lot of big hits and big home runs. We run him out there and turn him loose.

It looks like every time you look up, there's another player from Round Rock in the big leagues, ... That's very satisfying.

Everyone loves him except the equipment manager that has to wash his uniform because he dives all over the place.

It was not a very good game. It was a spring training-type game.

It was just uphill all the way. We just couldn't overcome the grand slam. It is very (disheartening) because it put a strain on the club throughout the game to come back. Offensively, we are just not throwing that type of production up.

Things didn't work out well for us. Considering everything that happened, we had a good season. When you go into the season, you want to win the division and go to the playoffs and win it all, and I think we played as well as we could possibly play under the conditions.

I know they fill quite a void there the way they've stepped in.

I remember him. Short guy, moustache, played third base for Pittsburgh.

I don't see him getting back before the year's over, either.

You can't have a better Easter than this.
