Is Maddon over-thinking things right now by pulling Hendricks so early?
To end their curse, the Boston Red Sox had to come back from down 3-0 against a team from New York in the ALCS.
To end their curse, the Chicago Cubs will have to come back from down 3-0 against a team from New York in the NLCS.
AMIRITE?
It depends upon what his spreadsheet said.
True, but the fact that the Cubs "curse" is from a billy goat named "Murphy" while a guy named Murphy has had the hottest bat in this series may offset that.
Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong for the Cubs, will go wrong.
Robocop was named Murphy. Robocop the new hope for Chicago.
It looks like the super genius Maddon is about to close the door on his season. It's what you get when you over manage. Running thru your bullpen is never a good thing.
Fredi would of been better at managing that bullpen
Fredi's got nothing to do with this. Collins has schooled him on how to manage in the NL and Maddon has failed the test.
