We know he's pitching with a lot of guts right now. As long as he wants the ball, we know he's OK to go out there.
We needed a win ? desperately. He's pretty intense right now. No one wants to win more than Johan. That's what he cares most about ? winning.
He's pretty intense right now. No one wants to win any more than Johan. He's all about winning. That's why it's fun to have him on your baseball team. When he goes out there, you can see it in his heart that he wants to win for this baseball team.
He wants to play. But I'm just going to give him a day break.
That was good enough for me. He wants to play. It's frustrating for him not to play. It was driving him crazy. On the bench in Chicago, he was going nuts. Hopefully, we can get him healthy and keep him on the field.
This is serious, very serious, and a lot of people are going to learn from this. We're going to help him get through this thing and make him understand how serious this is. He wants to face the penalty, and that's the right thing to do.
I won't shut him down unless he wants to be shut down.
He's very valuable in that respect. And I know what he wants to do. He wants to get to one place and play. I'm just mixing it up as best I can.
