    - I would rip that up and re-sign him for 100. -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 08:40
  - In all honesty, other than Heyward having a disappointing season, I'm struggling to see what they need - AC000000 Nov 3, 08:37 7
    - Bullpen. So much bullpen. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 3, 08:55
    - Chapman is a free agent and Arrietta's contract is coming up. They're going to start having to make some dollars and cents decisions soon. Heyward - pmb Nov 3, 08:41
    - Chapman is gone, I think Fowler might be as well...... - groiny Nov 3, 08:39 4
      - true, there are those things to deal with -- nm - AC000000 Nov 3, 08:40 3
        
        and based on this series, I think you will see a damn near total overhaul on the bullpen. -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 08:41 2

    - *blink* -- nm - Jim Caldwell Nov 3, 08:32
  - I'm a Maddon fan and glad the Cubs won, but the way he managed his pitchers in 6 & 7 was a travesty. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 08:29 1
    - oh, for sure, he is fantastic at getting the players motivated and buying into a plan. - groiny Nov 3, 08:31
  - ground ball double play, makes more sense than a 3-2 squeeze bunt. -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 08:28 2

      - and they were all gorgeous and knowledgable about *everything* pertaining to the experience. - Diva Nov 3, 09:12 1
        
        Right. I forgot that they drank to test for corkage. I loved that (how do we get that job?) - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:15
