I have a confession to make: I lost confidence in Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Montero. Too many moments over his time with the Cubs have led to many of us jumping ship. Whether it was a passed ball, a strikeout with runners in scoring position, or not being able to throw out runners, we saw the poor moments. Therefore, we lost confidence in him. Furthermore, never did we celebrate his successes. For that, Montero, I apologize.
But while we, the fans, played coach from our seat in front of the television, Chicago Cubs Manager Joe Maddon saw the everyday man.
