Definitely a yucky radio guy. But at least he can speak English and is coherent.

Yeah, lay off the coffee

I imagine some nerves today for him.

So far..not awful.

I don't know where I stand on this, I go back and forth between agreeing with this POV and thinking its beyond idiotic.

Maddon pissed me off thoroughly in games 6 and 7. They won game 7 in spite of his moves. Its like if my friend was driving me to work and we took the long way there and he got lost and then we got in a minor accident and he ran over a dog and I was 2 hours late. It isn't unreasonable of me to question my friend despite the fact that he got me to work.

My counter point is simply...2016.

I have one, I'm just too lazy to build a good twitter parody from the ground up.

I explain it to folks like this- When the Cubs ended up winning game 7, I felt more relief than joy. I thought it would be one of the most exciting experiences, but that game ended up being gut wrenching. And it was that way because I was sure they had the game with that large early lead, and then shocked at how they pissed it away with dumb moves. I will never apologize for my gut feelings, and in this case it was relief.

Exactly. I don't know how people, especially Cub fans, don't get this. BUT DON'T QUESTION MADDON !!!!

He definitely does. Maybe he just got done doing his 900 pushups.

Maddon has shown throughout his baseball coaching life that he is a process oriented guy. Now, when the process comes into question, and deservedly so, he switches to a goal oriented guy and all of his sychophants follow suit.

It is absolutely valid to question the process of a guy, and a team really, that have prided themselves on the primacy of process and the exceptionalism of THEIR specific process.

His voice actually sounds different. I wouldn't even know it was him. Maybe he's been under the weather.

a very good description for why managers in baseball don't matter. Those who buy into The Amazing Joe, Magician and Zookeeper, could never accept this truth

Very well said. I am happy as hell that they won, but it doesn't obscure the fact that these really smart guys made terrible decisions in games 6 & 7.

This and the "Jake was 18-8 last year, with a good era and whip, he didn't struggle at all and the Cubs won!!" are two viewpoints I just don't understand.

_________________

For the Cubs, it doesn't really matter at all. For Maddon, you have to question whether he was actually a limiting factor for all of those really good Tampa Bay teams that didn't win in the playoffs. It is funny that I haven't heard "best manager in baseball" since.

I'm out.

Think he's pissed at talking to the dope from KC. Hub was a Terry guy, and much like Terry, he's probably pissed that Drinky got passed up for the open slot. This was probably Hub's version of a protest.

I'd respect Maddon more if he just came clean and said he fucked up, he will learn from it and he doesn't care because they won in spite of the mistakes. Instead, he says that his moves were correct because they won.

It just shows that managers are discussed far, far more than they should be.

This has been my position as well. Recognize and acknowledge that in the heat of the moment you went off script and thankfully, the Cubbies still won.

Awful. He was way more reserved when he filled in at ESPN over the holidays.
