It has to be said now that Joe Maddon's idiotic SABR metric batting order of hitting the pitcher eighth just ran the Cubs out of a rally in today's game. This blunder had lifetime AL pitcher Jon Lester up with bases loaded (of course Lester weakly grounded out to third killing the rally.)
It's time Maddon stops this cutesy nonsense before it costs the Cubs games. As I write this Jon Lester gave up a 2 run homer wiping out the Cubs' lead. From where I sit, Maddon has not been an impressive game manager so far!
