4 hit night for Bryant.

[Doug]

Indians are in huge trouble now

[vdubmvp]

Flawless taste, kid.

[Doug]

Rizzo wow lol bye Indians wow

[TheHurl]

Wasn't Maddon's whole thing with the Rays that he listened to the front office and the analytics peoples and was willing to apply what they said?

 

Not nearly as much as it is now with Cash (they meet with him every day) but yeah his willingness to listen was key, but i don't think they ever interfered with actual game day decisions. I think people are blowing the Chapman thing out of proportion. Pitch him tomorrow, if he gets hurt...not your problem anymore.

rizzbro rekt

[Doug]

I wouldn't want to be cluber facing the cubs tomorrow

[thatoneguy]

Man the middle of the Cubs lineup is cooking with rocket fuel now.

MGL has been rambling on a lot of different fronts though. Maddon probably does overthink some things.

[Doug]

This series appears much closer than it actually is. Cubs are ahead by a mile now

[Spanky99]

Rizzo wow lol bye Indians wow

 

Wow!!!

[burlingtonbandit]

If Maddon brings Chapman back here its worse than Gibbons pen management.

[Stangstag]

Why is Maddon running Chapman out there?

I love me some Maddon. But I don't think he's a brilliant strategic manager. I think he's a great person and entertaining as f***, and most importantly willing to take the heat when one of his moves don't work out. Likely is the biggest proof that manager's decisions don't really effect the game...yet I'd still love him as my manager.

do you like gibbons?

[vdubmvp]

Holy f*** get him out of the game.

[burlingtonbandit]

This is one of the worst managerial moves ever. Bringing Chapman back with a 7 run lead! And there is a game tomorrow...

[Stangstag]

What the f*** Maddon

[thatoneguy]

Chapman again? Wtf are you doing Maddon?

[RealAccountant]

Why is Maddon running Chapman out there?

 

Why not keep him fresh for tommorrow

[Brownie19]

Madden has gone mad. Praying for a rain out tomorrow?

[Stangstag]

I actually really hope this blows up in Maddon's face tomorrow. This is incredibly stupid.

[glory]

Even Gibbons would have taken Chapman out in this situation.

 

Maddon's out of his mind.

[Spanky99]

Why is Maddon running Chapman out there?

 

I guess he doesn't give a f***, as Hurl mentioned, tomorrow's his last game with the Cubs.

[Stangstag]

So does everyone still think Maddon is some kind of genius?

[burlingtonbandit]

what the f*** was the point of him coming out?

[Nabru]

People think Maddon, Francona, etc. are immune from criticism. If you've watched Maddon for a long period of time, you'd see he does his fair share of questionable things.

[Tom]

Indians have a good chance tomorrow

[EdwinsParrot]

not even gibby is this crazy
