Joe Maddon: The Man Behind the Glasses

dude fuckin loves bunts

But yet he can't PH a starter for Farrell to get a bunt down???  I'm confused.

It was a fun win, but man, if you're going to use Morrow to close it down when you're up 6, why not play for 1 there?

Morrow only came in to close because he was already up and warm. Or are you suggesting that Joe should have known the Cubs were going to have a 6-spot in the 14th inning, so he should have had Strop warming up there?

Besides, I'm guessing at that point their best squeeze bunter (Jon Lester) was already back at the hotel.

Amazingly, Dave Roberts knows how to use his closer in a one-run game...

If Morrow isn't hurt Joe can go fuck himself forever.

Joe does not have to fuck himself forever.

For now.

For now.

I'm sure he's grateful.

You should know better....

Also to Joe's credit I don't think he'd ever do whatever the fuck Roberts was doing last night when he decided with a runner on third and no out to walk the guy who has struck out 29% of the time in his career and go after the guy who strikes out half that much and is hitting .325

Seriously, what the fuck was that, Galaxy Brain Dave? I was 100% convinced Almora would end it there.

Bump.

Bump.

Here in the Bay Area there is grumbling about Bruce Bochy, who managed the Giants to 3 world Series titles in 5 seasons.  But right now the Giants are below .500 and the fans are saying "What have you done for me lately?"  I don't think that he is burned out. I think that it is attributable to the facts that
the best player on the team played the season with an injury (until he gave up and is trying to recuperate) and their best pitcher has succumbed to his age.

I love Joe, but having Strop hit there was fucking weird, especially given the offensive cold streak.

It had something to do with the condition of the arms in the bullpen.

Hoo boy. Game isn't over, so it could still all work out, but he's gonna be questioned after this one.
