Thanks, Bennett!  Fun to get going.  Even if I don't know who some of these guys even are!  :)  (Roth, Bass, Navarro...)

Thanks for the article, Deeg...the authors do appropriately praise Joe for the key item:

"How a skipper manages his players’ egos and clubhouse chemistry is likely to be much more important than the fiddling he does with a lineup or the pitcher he calls on to get critical outs. And Maddon excels in those soft skills: He is famous for maintaining a relaxed, jovial clubhouse, and it shows in the outstanding performances of his players."

He may not be a great in-game manager, but Joe's record reflects that he manages the big picture in a LONG season REALLY well!

Interesting that the positions in the batting order look like our everyday lineup, even if the names don’t match...

Today’s game is on cubs.com with Len Kasper and Mick Gillispie. It will be televised on Fox Sports Wisconsin with the Brewers announcers. It’s also on MLB Network on a one-hour delay beginning at 3 p.m. CT.
