I've defended Maddon but his refusal to move Schwarber in the order is bizarre.

I know we are starting to do away with lead off men being really fast but shouldn't your lead off guy at least be able to run the bases?

I'm not really asking. The correct answer is yes. There's one reason for Joe. Tell him to call me if he needs more.

To paraphrase Dusty's comments about day baseball, let's just say he doesn't do all that well when the bright lights are on him...

Yeah trying to make the top ten managers of all time and put Maddon in there right now is a bit difficult to do.

Casey Stengel - Metsy. Metsy. Worst regular season record in history.
John McGraw - Not a real person.
Sparky Anderson - Was younger than he looked.
Tony LaRussa - Steroid pioneer & Hawk Harrelson hated him.
Tommy Lasorda - Loves Connie's Pizza but hates the gays. Still has no idea who Carmen DeFalco is.
Billy Martin - Serious issues.
Chuck Tanner - Under 500.
Tito Francona - Loves his Ice Cream. Lost to Maddon straight up.
Cito Gaston - {Kenny Williams voice} What could've been?
Dick Howser - Can't say anything bad about the guy.
Joe Torre - Sucked prior to getting to N.Y. All praise goes to Jeets.
Bobby Cox - Would've loved managing Aroldis Chapman.
Jim Leyland - Was really nice to a young Matches after a Cub-Pirate tilt.
Tom Kelly - Believed in hexes.
Bruce Bochy -Severely underrated even after 3 titles.
Roger Craig - Split fingered bastard out managed Zimmer in 89. Hell of a running back too.
Bobby Valentine -Come on now. At least take this list seriously.
Lou Pinella -Choked multiple times in the playoffs. Still wasn't cool of the Stone Pony to make fun of his speech impediment.
Don Zimmer "Tremendous" character. Didn't he oversee the Boston collapse in 78?
Gene Mauch - Under 500.
Mike Hargrove - How does Cleveland not win a title in the 90's?
Leo Durocher -69 Cubs and didn't sign Herman Muenster when he had the chance.

I would never say Maddon is top 10 all time, he's a huge upgrade over Piniella though.

You need professional help. Please go to more Sox games and watch Ricky who does not know when to take out a pitcher. But of course he got a bad deal with the Cubs because a better MANAGER was there for the taking.

Cool move by Maddon, commemorating 1,000th win with his foundation donating 1,000 meals to needy in Chicago and 1,000 to needy in Tampa area

This has got to bump him up in the rankings no?

Renteria doesn't know when to take out a pitcher? After the last World Series that's pretty funny.

Could a Cub fan please tell me once and for all- IS MADDON A GOOD MANAGER OR NOT?????????

He's kinda like Jay Cutler.
We've had so many bad ones when we get a guy like him he seems amazing.

For a bit.

He's the best manager the cubs ever had. But... yeah.

No more bizarre than his refusal to move Heyward down in the lineup from the #2 hole last season for many months, during which he killed countless rallies. He doesn't seem to be able to admit when he is wrong. Stubborn.
