CHICAGO - Bruce Bochy is resting a couple of regulars in the final game against the majors’ best team in the final month of a pennant race.
That’s coming from 22 years and three championships worth of experience.
Bochy is giving shortstop Brandon Crawford and left fielder Angel Pagan a break in Sunday’s series finale at Wrigley Field.
“It’s not easy. But you have to do what’s right,” Bochy said. “Sure, I’d like to put them out there every day. I think every manager would say that. You’ve heard me say so many times: You get to the point of diminishing returns.
