Go with Rosario over Hammels. I just dont the thinking
Maddon white flagging this game

Why else would he change his mind and hit Heyward over Schwarber..

Schwarber was in the on deck

Eh... i mean is it Maddon's fault the heart of the order with 3 bats who've gotten MVP votes in the past plus Baez who will get them this year went 1-9? Ultimately the good players have to be good if you want to win. They've had 7 baserunners in this game. Contreras x1, La Stella x1, Almora x2, Bryant x1, Zobrist x1 and Happ x1.The role players have largely done decent work all things considered.

I get it beck. Mine was just the baffling of taking Lester out and going with Heyward over Schwarber

Cubs have gotten every lucky break this game and are still trailing.

That's a horrible call.

Even if they are going to say that his foot may have come off the bag, that would technically remove the force out because once you get to the bag, you need to be tagged out.

Yeah I don't condone firing him this year but his act is growing old and stale. If they continue to regress next year, it's time to make a move preferably for someone who will hold the players accountable for underachieving.

LOL LOL

thanks

Wow. He was safe. Javy even said so.

Dropped fly ball. Catchers interference. They were thrown out trying to stretch a single. And now a bad call in our favor. We have had four gifts.

Yeah I mean I'm not saying I absolutely love Heyward over Shwarber there. But I'm not sure it's Maddon's fault the cubs can't seem to hit. Think that a lot of it is the fact you're not getting star level performance out of Baez, Bryant and rizzo of late. You compare that to say Yelich down the stretch and that's the difference between the two teams performance. Other than playing better I don't know what you do about that.

They said at start this ump is one of lowest called strike percentages in mlb. But everything is now a strike.
