I look at (makeup) first of all, guys that like to get the last three outs. And furthermore, if they don't get 'em tonight and they lose or give it up, they can come back the next night and get it done. For me, that's really an important issue with the closer.
More Quotes from Joe Maddon:
He does I don't think he's ever been hurt, so he doesn't know that he heals fast. This is new water for him. In talking to him he's never pulled anything so it's unusual. That's nice that he said that, but we'll wait until Thursday and see how he feels and what the doctors say.Joe Maddon
I thought he was very good. Again, putting together a lot of different things. And again, if you see our pitchers now, they're pitching. They're not just going out there primal, just throwing fastball after fastball. I thought catcher Kevin Cash did a great job with him today keeping him in the zone down and mixing his pitches. I thought Kevin was very creative in a good way.

When they don't get good swings on a pitch, you really gotta stay with him right there. He just kept throwing strikes and mixing his pitches well. He went after them aggressively. It's just good for morale to see that one guy can turn things around in nine innings basically.
Joe Maddon
I almost ran into him when I was heading out the door (of the clubhouse) before the game and he was coming in. He just did a great job. When I walked out there and gave him the ball, he just had a great look about him.

The mental at-bats are really good. That's what I'm liking.
Joe Maddon
I thought he was focused on every pitch he threw Monday. He was really good. That's what we have in our minds when we talk about what he's capable of.
