People just dont see it. They dont see how Maddon almost blew game 7 with his pitching decisions, Chapman was clearly gassed by game 7. But you are so right, first week in May and you need to throw your closer three times in a row? Its not that he had to win those games, he had to look ahead to this yankee series. Rondon had 60 saves over his first two years closing, then was deemed not good enough. Where do people expect his confidence to be, especially, after getting hosed on a strike 3 that kept the inning going. Umps are fans too, they know the cubs dont trust Rondon, he does not get that call at the bottom of the zone.
