Here is what Maddon had to say about Lake's act....Reminds me of how some football players strut around after sacking a QB...."Act like you have been there before!"
Glad to say that Maddon has already talked to Lake about what he excpects from his players.
“We don’t do that here,” manager Joe Maddon said afterward, “and that will be the last time you see it.”
“I don’t want us to take the fight there by acting like a punk,” Maddon said. “I don’t want that at all. I want us to take the fight there by playing the game properly and hard and fundamentally sound.
“You know that we’re coming after you – that’s what I want. I don’t want us to take a page out of ‘Major League’ and flamboyantly flip a bat after a long home run. I don’t want that at all. That has nothing to do with us ascending.
“I’d like to use this moment for our minor-league guys – that doesn’t play. For kids watching – that doesn’t play. Don’t do that. That’s not cool. That’s very, very much not cool. If you’re watching the game back home in Chicago tonight, don’t do that if you hit a home run. Don’t do it. It’s not cool.”
