More Quotes from Joe Maddon:
What we've talked about is that pitchers today are trained to look at pitch count. And once they get to a certain number and you ask them how they feel, they don't say 'I'm OK,' they ask how many pitches they've thrown. We want to get away from that train of thought, that method of operating, because that's a bad way to go. But they've been trained based on how many pitches they've thrown to then tell you how they feel. We want to take that away.Joe Maddon
One of the terms thrown too loosely is when you say someone is 'classy.' But when I think of the Yankees, that's what I think because of their ability to sustain excellence for that number of years and the way they conduct themselves. There's none of this verbal rhetoric battles stuff going on with the Yankees. It's all about their performance on the field, the way the players conduct themselves, the way they interact, the way they play the game. I see class, and I see respect.

If you want to assume that, that's fine. You can badger me. That's OK. I don't have to answer the question.

You can only compare yourself to yourself. When you start getting involved and comparing yourself to someone else, that's always dangerous. I'm not going to be something I'm not. I don't believe in that. I don't want the players to do that. I really don't appreciate people who do that. This is what I am, this is how I am, this is what I have, this is what I believe in.
Joe Maddon
If players are around 30 and take good care of themselves they might be productive for five or six years. What's wrong with that
