Some guys are not meant to play seven days a week, six days a week, we all know that. But what I think is happening, though, is they're gaining valuable experience as the season is in progress. Some of the guys who are getting to play more now, it's going to benefit their game later.
More Quotes from Joe Maddon:
I'm good with him being there. I'm good with him supporting his family and his country -- because I believe it's absolutely sincere. There's not a thing that's contrived about him at all. I'm all for him.Joe Maddon
I'm trying to think of young hitters who have that command of the strike zone at a young age, and I haven't had many. That's really unusual. That's something that normally becomes nurtured, that eventually becomes part of somebody's game plan.

When you have a good pop-up hitter, that's kind of nice. Believe me, catchers want to be comfortable making that play. It's embarrassing for a catcher when you don't make that. They like the realistic spin and Ramos does it well.

It's so easy to be negative. But I don't know of any situation that ever became better without a positive attitude. I just don't know how that happens. To go out and heap more pressure and more negativity on a group of people seems to invite what you had in the past.

I'd like to see us get as many complete games as we can. Even if it means throwing 120, 125, 130 pitches. If the man is in control and we think he can do something like that, we're going to let him do it.
Joe Maddon
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.
