    Hendricks is historically really bad third time through the order.

    That might be the wackiest play since Merkle's boner.

    Outmanaged himself in classic style, did Maddon.

    And Lester would be the winning pitcher if the Cubs hang on. Talk about vulturing one.

    Get him out of there ASAP. That last strikeout was pushing Lester's luck past where it should go.

    Well, at least it's competitive and not a snoozer.

    Merkel would be a good name for the next boner pills.

    That's not true. After the starter, it's discretionary. In 2014, there was about an hour that Bumgarner was the winning pitcher before they went back to Affeldt. To your point, they did stick with the guy pitching when they went ahead, but it's a decision.

    Cubs won that game. Will they win this one?

    EDIT: Or maybe it was tie. Too lazy to look it up.
