Hey guys, trying to tread lightly here but wanted to get your perspective on Hendricks. It seems like no matter how well he does he doesnt really strike fear into opposing fans. And actually to be honest, many in his own fan base tend to discount him. Earlier in this thread when discussing the rotation his name wasn't brought up. Did his start yesterday change the perception at all? Are you at all scared at the possibility of facing Hendricks in game 5? It seems like the most respect that is given to him is "yeah he's really good but we can probably get to him"For the record I'm terrified at the thought of potentially facing Stras in game 5 after watching his performance last night.
I’ll just post this and let everyone here go insane. https://www.thescore.com/news/1392554
Yes. It's really on the line today.
I like Dusty. What am I missin'?
The “if only we get a new manager we’ll win the World Series” argument.
Ah, thanks imref. That's my sense of it as well ... once we get rid of Davey .... once we get rid of Matt .... once we get rid of Dusty ....
I think Turner could be the difference in this series. Lester and Arietta are horrible at holding runners and Turner can really do some damage...if he gets on base. That'll be the key.
I think we should wrap this up in 4 now. Cubs have to be demoralized.
This was a great win by Dusty today!!!
Dusty got bailed out. Lind should be starting. Turner shouldn't be hitting leadoff
So the Cubs let Bryce Harper hit a home run against a righty and let Zimmerman hit a home run against a lefty. But Joe Maddon is a genius. 🤔
Well you tell me, Slate, since you think it’s on managers and not on players, what about my assessment is so laugh out loud stupid. I just think managers don’t matter. You repeatedly fellate Maddon.
Actually I think they are. They already won last year. They have nothing left to prove and might wanna go hit the beach.
Managers matter more in the playoffs than in the regular season. Or do you think it's just dumb luck that Dusty hasn't won a clinching game in his last 9 attempts?They dominated this club for 16 innings. Pretty sure they haven't checked out.
I think much of that was due to our own incompetence which it appears has been fixed.It's not as if the Cubs hitters are smoking the ball of our guys, they've barely made contact, save for a few key hits.

exactly, if the loss was because he got out managed then the win should be because he out managed Maddon. but the morons here are just going to say that they won in spite of Baker. Dusty put his 70 year old balls on the table and served them dinner. And, while we're at it, Schu will provide something for them to wash down their Dusty testicle dinner.
Summed it up well. The managers getting too much blame or credit from some folks. You would hardly know they are real players. More like a chess board.
