Whew, you’re actually here. I was worried the title might be so click-baity that you’d just choose to leave a comment instead of reading. Thing is, I didn’t even have to twist the words Joe Maddon delivered prior to Tuesday’s loss in Pittsburgh. What you really need to understand, though, is that Maddon admitted more than once that he was mystified by the Cubs’ woeful road performance and had no actual answers.
So you’ll have to forgive him for unleashing a take so hot that neither beat writer nor blogger had to do so much as pop it in the microwave.
