I have a lot of sympathy for Maddon in that spot at least, even if I think he handled it poorly. He's without Strop and Rondon - Chapman has refused to pitch in such a situation. Everyone else kinda sucks.
Even though Heyward sucks and i don't have any expectation he'll stop sucking this year, I do have this weird expectation that he'll do something extremely heroic in the playoffs
death, taxes, and some dumb cardinal with a stupid name will hit random home runs against the Cubs. He also has to be white, have little physical talent, and have a poor minor league track record
