Someone should ask him if he will have final say over the batting order, or if he will have to bat Baez in the 2-spot every game as I believe Renteria was forced to do.

Who said Renteria was forced to do that?


Bruce Levine:
"The Cubs management group put Baez in the No. 2 hole of the batting order and have not wavered on that decision, regardless of the quality of the young player’s at-bats."



That was an issue with Beane and Art Howe as well. The new model is that the front office is making these calls based on their data. Maybe the thinking is that they won't have to twist Maddon's arm as he will be able to see the wisdom in the percentages. Epstein isn't looking for a guy like Zimmer who says something like, "I know he's 1 for 56 against this guy, but I looked down the bench and Mendy just had that look in his eye."

glad to see we agree on why Rent-y was a poor hire and a decision that needed to be corrected.

Anybody else catch @Maddonini invoking "Blink" by Gladwell? I'm not buying in until we get an "Infinite Jest" reference.

The Theo Cubs continue to be press conference world champions. This is a domination. Wins on the field are, finally, next.

"Autocratic," "confluence" and "ameliorate" so far from #Maddon.


I made a point of listening after the Emery and Trestman hiring pressers. I will pass on this one. I don't think I can stomach Bernsie's opinions on this.

Maddon is crapping all over the grind it out, lunchpail narrative, and it's so awesome.


And here we go..........

Oh man, Bernstein is now tweeting about Malcolm Gladwell and Maddon. He shouldn't be treated as some sort of authority, he's a story teller.

If Dan likes David Foster Wallace so much, why would he mention him alongside Malcolm Gladwell?

If the Cubs do win it, I really hope Bernstein is not still on the air. He will be insufferable.

I've never really heard him claim them, but I think he became a fan of them when he went to Boston the same way he became a Cub fan when he came to Chicago. He's obviously a Cub fan now.

I thought he'd like Martin Amis, a bit more high-brow.

Why "Maddonini"? (I know it's his real name...is Bernstein just trying to show off?)

George Carlin was right when he wrote in Brain Droppings that losing droughts are far more entertaining than having the drought end.
