You know, Joe Maddon probably should have taken Steve Cishek out after the first walk, when it looked like he had lost his command.
Or he should have taken Cishek out after the second walk, the one that loaded the bases, when it was clear to every single person watching that Cishek had lost his command.
But there he was, facing Manuel Margot in a situation where another walk loses the game. That’s exactly what happened, and the Cubs had a disastrous 9-8 loss to the Padres, something they can ill afford.
