“I distinctly remember Jay Gibbons hit the grand slam off me at Baltimore. I think I ended up giving up nine runs in that game. It was just a nightmare game for me. That was a good example of the snowball effect. If things go bad in the first inning, I don't want it to snowball it even more.”
Casey Fossum
“I think Jay isn't so concerned anymore with having to hit the ball out of the ballpark to be in the lineup. I think he knows he's going to be in the middle of our lineup somewhere.”
Sam Perlozzo
“They all think the nuttier they are, the more likely they are to get on David Letterman or Jay Leno, ... Everybody wants to get out there and talk the talk.”
Boomer Esiason
“I think the players play extremely hard for Jay and that isn't always easy when you are struggling.”
Dave Heeke
“I've never talked with Jay about it, but I remember when he was going through it. There's not much you can say. It just reminds you that you have to be thick-skinned to be in this profession. It's sad that's the way it is, but that's the way it is. You just better be able to handle it when it comes.”
Jeff Bowden
“Jay Rosehill is a prototypical Tampa Bay player. He is physical, aggressive, he likes to hit and isn't afraid to drop his gloves when necessary.”
Jay Feaster
“We just ran out of gas. We had the lead, but (Jay County) just kept hitting big shots.”
