Famous quotes by Joe Maddon:

"The most difficult pitch for a young catcher to catch is the glove-hand side pitch. You have a tendency to want to turn your glove the wrong way, and that's when you break your thumb or at least bruise it."

"I know his legs are probably killing him, because he's not used to catching. He's so much better."

"I don't believe in just being out there and just grinding away. Let's do it intelligently, let's do it quickly, let's get it done. And then move on."

"I like them to think."

"I know how deeply I believe in that relationship and how it impacts the win column. No one is going to win unless the pitching staff does a great job and the catchers are true extensions of the pitchers. So why not bring these people together as closely as possible? That's what we're trying to do."

"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?"

"You probably need a seven- to nine-man pitching staff among starters to really get through a season. I would say seven, maybe eight. You're always looking for what's going to happen, Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, in case of a breakdown."

"This guy has been swinging at strikes and taking balls. That's been the most impressive thing he's done at the plate. The obvious thing was the home run, but he moves really well in the outfield."

"I'm very happy, excited, eager, all those things. It's a great situation and I'm really looking forward to it."

"I've been a Cardinals fan since 1962 or '64,"
