I'm probably as negative as any not-totally-crazy person here, and that STL game definitely pissed me off at the time, but I didn't actually remember how it ended until it was outlined in this thread.
Stupid horsefeathers posted on this board tends to get mocked. I get it often. UMFan83, one of the longest tenured members of the whole board, is getting a little of it right now in today's game thread. It doesn't happen to new people 'more' unless new people happen to post stupid horsefeathers.
I mean, Maddon could drop a hint by slotting him 8th in the order. He doesn't need to hit 8th, but pretty much everyone else in the lineup other than Fowler has hit all over the place, I don't know why Heyward at 2 has to be gospel.
Throwback to when Rany totally called this http://grantland.com/the-triangle/chicago-cubs-rebuilding-theo-epstein-javier-baez-kris-bryant-jake-arrieta/ I could read Rany slobbering on the Cubs every day forever.
I kind of thought so too. That's not the first time I've seen something like that - it almost seems like managers have a gentleman's agreement not to challenge those.
