That should have been Wilson there. He tried to address it, the guy just shit the bed.

2nd consecutive post season with total mismanagement of the bullpen.

Let's hope they get their mojo back at Wrigley.

'In game 1, when Harper chuckled with Rizzo at first base signaling 3 outs, I knew the series was over' - Micheal Jordan if he was on the Cubs.


'After game 2, when Turner hit the walk off and in the post game said they'd enjoy this one a bit, I knew the series was over' - Micheal Jordan if he was on the Cubs.

Come on man. It's playoff baseball. You have to be able to win games like this. Not playing the Reds anymore.

No, Maddon fucking blows. I'm sure he'll have a wonderful, flowery explanation as to why he is such a fucking idiot.

I agree he should have left Duensing in, but the hitting lost this game. That was a truly disgraceful effort. We have no chance because we just can't hit good pitching.

I'm OK with not going Davis there. Stick with Duensing though. He's the last reliable guy you have left.

Frankly I can't believe it was this close and they had two leads already. Thought this would be more like the 2015 Massacre

So really they're up 2-0 grading on a curve of my expectations

Fuck off.

I'm sorry. They fucking blow.

I'm not devastated at all.

I've already thought we were going down last series.

If we go down this series i won't be happy but it won't kill me. we won it last year.

but if we make it to the WS, then we better fucking win it.

Maddon's strength is different lineups, different guys but now he is running the same basic group out there and giving no play to LaStella or Happ.

This fact with the bullpen puts the dunce cap clearly on Maddon.

In Rutgers?

I dont like how he manages the pen. Roberts, Bochy, those guys will use their entire bullpen if necessary nightly. One batter to one guy, another batter to another guy. But maybe joe doesn't have the arms to do that.

I know one thing, never bring Lackey in again when the game is tied.

Dominant bullpens make good managers

Maddon is not great but this game was on the offense. Pitching got you 8ip 1 run

Gotta win that game

Hill is what he is, a #2. He is good. He owned our asses last year too in the playoffs.

TBS Nerdy never played a sport in my life host shitting on Maddon.

He'll be indignant and act like the person questioning him is stupid.

You don't think Rich Hill is a good pitcher?

I hate when people say "we won it last year", so what? You play to win it every year. Winning it last year won't make it any less painful.
