I was a little hesitant about quoting this Yogi-ism since it is from 1973 (which was actually a worse season than 1969 {and here} and Yogi was the manager of the Hated Mets that year). But when it’s right, it’s right.
The only thing I would say is this: Joe, given how well the bullpen has done this postseason, stick with Kyle (Tuesday night) and Jake (Wednesday night) as long as you can – and then a little bit longer. Because they’re better than the bullpen is going to be. The more times you go to the ‘pen, the more likely it is going to fail. So don’t go any more than you absolutely have to - and less than that, if possible.
Go Cubs Go!
