Meh. This one is on the players, not on Maddon. The Arrieta home run was lucky. And they let off the gas and couldn't score a run afterwards. Rondon can't walk a guy there. Chapman can't allow a triple to a crappy left handed hitter.

The team that has a history of doing stuff like this against the team with the history of choking....doesn't make me feel too positive right now.

This is a stupid narrative. The Giants are a statistical anomaly and they certainly don't have any more 'grit' than any other team. Just because they've pulled off upsets before doesn't mean they have the innate ability to.

Giants will have all the momentum and nothing to lose. But the Cubs have a lot of veterans on this team that have been here before and can steady the team hopefully

Right, I'm not talking logical outcomes. I'm talking about my comfort level when my team chokes all the time and their team overcomes odds all the time.

I don't think so. I think underdogs often have a psychological advantage and that's exactly what the Giants are. Plus they have a lot of guys on the team that have done this over and over.
