Yeah, a couple of "I have no idea what Joe is doing with the pitching" comments when Hendricks batted for himself were mystifying to me. That being said, I would have pinch hit for Heyward with the bags full in the first inning. Heyward wasn't going anywhere the moment he started against a lefty. You don't start him to pull him with righties to follow out of their bullpen. I would have PH Hendricks because I expected 3-4 strong from Scherzer and wanted a real hitter against Albers. Thankfully I was wrong, the Cubs didn't have the pitchers for Hendricks to leave earlier and they scored a lot off Scherzer.

Did not think I'd stress this much over a playoff game after they won a World Series last year. Playoff baseball is so incredibly draining.
-
Okay, Jon Lester.
-
Sure, let's go Rookie of the Year route if we have to. Whatever it takes.
-
In hindsight, it probably is the right move to go to Wade for the heart of their lineup here. I just hope Joe is willing to go away from him if he's running on fumes against the bottom of the lineup.
-
Lmao a 7 out save when you didn't pull Wade right after the grand slam? horsefeathers you, Joe. You are a horsefeathers manager.
-
If Edwards had a 1 batter leash, Q should've started the inning.
-
Plz add on.
-
You guys were right about Scherzer, I was wrong. Omg!!!
-
Sucks this is with two outs.
-
Just rack up pitches so Scherzer is limited to 2 innings.
-
Pretty cool that Maddon let Hendricks bat in one of the few at bats left in this game when Scherzer and Doolittle don't pitch so Hendricks can try the top of the lineup for the third time.
-
If you're talking about the 0-2 pitch to Robles, I thought that was a ball.
-
Either that or he's pulled after giving up a weak contact bit to the first batter.
-
Well, Joe Maddon has lost me with this move.
-
That was easily the best outcome of the Heyward AB. Have to think Gio is done. Keep it a 1-run game if Scherzer is coming in.
-
Or having an offense.
-
Hendricks can never afford to miss this badly with his velocity: [tweet] [/tweet]
-
Beautiful 0-2 pitch, Hendricks.
-
Even Javy isn't striking out with 2 strikes, Kris.
-
After all those Willson to Javy throws, what a time for an amazing Javy to Willson throw.
-
I thought he dove so he could pop up and throw. Likely was a better throw than catching and turning.
-
Heyward, whatever. Very annoyed at Kris swinging at balls 4 and 5.
-
Go have sex already so the Cubs can win.
