I have long felt Maddon was the most overrated manager in the game. It is my opinion that he does most every in-game move to try and outsmart the other manager. In my opinion he has made some really awful mistakes such as basically every pitching move to remove his starter in any game, his usage of Chapman, and his lineups. Of course, I look at him as a smug jackass that thinks he is smarter than everyone so I am not unbiased and probably have an unwarranted vendetta against him. I agree, the Cubs won in spite of him. I went back and forth between who I was rooting for all series long. Every time they showed Lebron I rooted for the Cubs. Then they showed Bill Murray and I switched back to Cleveland. And lastly, now that the Cubs have won they are no different than any other big market team that tries to buy championships every year. There is/was nothing lovable about this team. I also think both Boston and Toronto would have beaten the Cubs in 6, but they could not touch the magic of the Indians.
