ST. LOUIS – You’re going to start second-guessing Joe Maddon now?
The Cubs manager guided this team through the toughest division in baseball and into this National League division series, seeing a 24-game improvement from the year before. Maddon isn’t going to change for the St. Louis Cardinals or get sentimental at playoff time.
So wild-card hero Kyle Schwarber — who had two hits and a walk in Friday’s 4-0 loss — didn’t see his name in Saturday’s Game 2 lineup against St. Louis lefty Jaime Garcia. Jorge Soler (right) and Austin Jackson (left) started in the corner outfield spots at Busch Stadium, a different look for a deep team that values versatility.
