Chapman doesn't have it tonight

Nope. Couldn't record one out before giving up 3.

Apparently Maddon said he didn't want to bring in either Lester or Chapman with runners on. Then, he went ahead and did it anyway. He should have stuck to his own advice.

I wouldn't have had Baez bunt there. Easy to say that after he already fouled it out but seriously, the Cubs have managed themselves into potentially losing this game.

This all on Maddon. Sometimes you just have to trust your players...

Taking Hendricks out was the worst call.

This was the key move. It made no sense. A 5-1 with one of your best pitchers on the mound and you pull him? Hendricks might have had a couple of more innings in him. Madden out though himself. Crazy.

Despite all of the bad moves they still can win this game. The delay may work in their favor. It gives them a chance to collect themselves.

Heck, Hendricks might have gone eight or all the way. He was only at like 51 pitches when he was pulled.

Heyward is AWFUL when a pitcher throws him something that bounces just in front of his feet. If I were a pitcher I'd throw him 3 of those and see if he can lay off of them. I bet he'd strike out every time.

Looks like nerves got to him. Montgomery to get that one last out.
