We aren't going to surprise anybody. Everybody knows that the Rays are a very good offensive team, so the meeting prior to a series against us are going to pick up on that. We're not going to ambush anybody like we did the second half of last year. We have to adapt.
More Quotes from Joe Maddon:
He's got tomorrow off, actually. He might drive to Orlando.Joe Maddon
I'd like to see what he did the other day, again. I thought he was really aggressive in the zone Sunday. I thought he threw strikes. I like the look. You know certain guys have the look. He had it the other day that confident look 'I know what I'm doing. If things go poorly, I can battle through it.' If he can just maintain that composure with the same type of stuff, that would be great.

It's best just to back him off and make the decision for him at this point and have him just relax a little bit. It's a long year. We have a lot of games left.
Joe Maddon
This is about him, it's not about us. I mean, it will be about us as he becomes better. But he needs to become a better shortstop first, and he knows that. I don't think like two more weeks of Spring Training and one game is a whole lot of difference. I'd rather just stick with our game plan, really.
Joe Maddon
I think it's better that way, actually. He doesn't have much time to think about it. He's a little bit excited. I told him that's OK, being nervous is normal. The only thing I asked him to do was not change anything. I just want him to pitch like I saw him pitch in the spring.

I've always wanted to meet this man. He was my dad's favorite. He is everything I thought he would be.
