41 Quotes by Mike Quade

The past two or three weeks we've pitched it the way I thought we would from the get-go. This is also the kind of pitching I expect from Mitre.

The mistakes we've made defensively have cost us.

It's a tough series to get swept, but we had better have learned some lessons here, because if we don't play any better, it'll be a tough season.

That kinda pitching will make you look like a real good manager. Both Hill and Aardsma did a heck of a job.

Everybody's contributed to this point. Felix - he's got a bright future and he showed that he's an exciting player with that bases-loaded triple . . . that blew the game open, but after just four games, you don't want to get too carried away.

Any time your major-league club goes into Colorado, if you're at the triple-A level, you're probably on guard because of what can happen there. That's my guess, I know nothing else, so we wanted to be careful in case something happened and they need him.

I believe he'll be an everyday shortstop with a chance to be a very good offensive player. He's still very young and has plenty to learn. I saw stuff that he did at the plate that I loved. I think he's going to get better hitting-wise. I'm real optimistic about his future.

I watch every day when we hit and take ground balls and the way we go about our business. If I saw any lackadaisical approach, that would concern me.

I'm really going to miss all the people in the front office, media relations, marketing, all the great people at the ball park. They were my family for a while, and that part really stings. But life does go on.
